Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Trump Just Ended H1B Visas In Major Crackdown, Charging $100k Per Visa | Timcast IRL

00:02:51.000 Donald Trump has effectively ended the H1B visa program.

00:02:56.000 Now it still exists, because he can't just get rid of it.

00:02:59.000 But he's going to be charging one hundred thousand dollars per visa, which uh, as you know, basically nukes almost all of them.

00:03:06.000 No company is going to spend a hundred thousand dollars to bring in some dude from India to work for a forty thousand dollar year job. 1.00

00:03:13.000 So there is some nuance to this.

00:03:14.000 We will talk about it.

00:03:16.000 Other news, ongoing ice protests.

00:03:18.000 A far left congressional candidate got tossed to the ground.

00:03:22.000 Everyone's talking about it.

00:03:23.000 We'll go over that.

00:03:24.000 Pepper spray, tear gas, all that stuff being deployed.

00:03:27.000 And then we've got Steven Colbert's response to Jimmy Kimmel being taken off the air, and surprise, surprise, he's doubling down, saying Jimmy Kimmel didn't say anything wrong, showing the clip, and basically without overtly saying it, implying that the assassin of Charlie Kirk was MAGA.

00:03:45.000 Because everyone's crazy.

00:03:47.000 And uh AOC is going to run for president in twenty twenty-eight.

00:03:50.000 So I hope y'all are ready.

00:05:40.000 What's up guys?

00:05:41.000 Tate Brown here holding it down.

00:05:42.000 Uh happy to be here.

00:05:44.000 Hello everybody my name is Philabonte I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.

00:05:47.000 I'm an anti-communist and counterrevolutionary.

00:05:49.000 Let's get into it.

00:05:50.000 Here's the news from Axios.

00:05:52.000 Trump seeks 100,000 visa fee for temporary skilled workers.

00:05:58.000 Trump announced that highly skilled workers hoping to work in America will now have to pay a 100,000 dollar fee to receive an H1B visa multiple outlets reported.

00:06:06.000 H1B visas divided Trump's mega coalition with some arguing foreign employees displace American workers while business leaders like Elon Musk view them as vital to America's tech dominance.

00:06:16.000 Trump also signed an order to create a gold card to sell U.S. residency for one million dollars.

00:06:21.000 This as far as anyone's concerned this ends H1B.

00:06:25.000 And I'll tell you why.

00:06:26.000 When they say high skilled workers that's not H1B.

00:06:29.000 People have been posting job offers from they found from like various recruiters where they're looking for like low level managers for $35,000 a year and you don't need to recruit from India or any other foreign country for that.

00:06:42.000 What they're really doing is trying to get cheap labor from foreign countries that will take a job in America but will work for less displacing American workers. 0.85

00:06:51.000 So Trump, he just split the baby right the big tech people said no we need H1B and they were saying American workers are lazy.

00:06:58.000 And then you get the working class MAGA people who are like no way dude these were why are we competing with these people from foreign lands so Trump says okay if you really want to hire somebody because you can't find anybody else you got to pay a hundred thousand dollars.

00:07:12.000 Now guess what if a company really genuinely needs an engineer from a foreign country and they can't find anybody here in the United States, they might pay the 100 thousand dollars why because this person's gonna get paid 400 grand as it is they might say okay fine we'll pay we'll pay that fee because we need the employee low skill labor being imported to displace American workers ain't nobody spending a hundred thousand dollars to hire a guy for 35k.

00:07:36.000 So this is effectively ending the H1B visa program as far as anyone's concerned.

00:07:41.000 Yeah I mean they had system or software engineer listings for like 60 grand in San Jose.

00:07:47.000 Yeah.

00:07:47.000 And it was absolutely ridiculous like they're making it abundantly clear that they were undercutting American wages and then yeah you had like yoga instructors listed for H1B.

00:07:55.000 Like it was yoga instructors.

00:07:56.000 Yeah yeah and it was a major company and they had yoga instructor listed on it be fair you you probably should get someone from India for that.

00:08:01.000 Otherwise it's cultural appropriation.

00:08:03.000 Yeah it's true.

00:08:04.000 You don't want to be racist cultural cultural appropriation is good though.

00:08:08.000 Yeah yeah it was just madness so yeah like proponents of the H1B program make this really bad argument that it's it's totally dishonest that it's about scooping up the best talent from around the world and bringing people in we have other visas that do that for like you know the brilliant uh mathematician and and whatever else the H1B program is a program almost explicitly designed to undercut American wages and particularly in the tech role but as we've seen with some of these job postings yeah it's all across the board.

00:08:35.000 Tim and actually done some digging the other day and it's not just the H1B visas there are multiple visas that are basically the Oseless well the O1 is a good one. 0.99

00:08:46.000 But that are that are basically useless basically just you know some excuse to bring in a worker that you know to give them a job that could be filled by an American so I think that the H1 getting rid of the or making the H1B financially unrewarding for people is a good start but I think that's just it it's just a start. 0.92

00:09:06.000 Like sure there's no reason to import workers to do jobs that Americans can do. 0.68

00:09:12.000 Yeah and there's also like what an 85000 job cap supposedly on it.

00:09:16.000 So it's like if the argument is we're bringing in high skilled applicants and then they use a lottery system to decide who's actually getting these visas then it totally kills the point of if it was high school in the first place.

00:09:26.000 And then yeah once you dig a little bit you realize this is even high school this is just a jobs program or if you if you get really good at yoga do you learn how to breathe fire?

00:09:34.000 I only my only exposure to yoga is passively watching rom coms and Street Fighter 2.

00:09:40.000 My my girlfriend does like pregnant yoga. 1.00

00:09:43.000 Oh so that's no fire breathing no fire sounds dangerous for a pregnant woman. 1.00

00:09:47.000 She's not I don't I don't think so I think it's I think it's safe.

00:09:50.000 So but okay good but I mean the another thing about the H1B visas when someone gets an H1B visa a lot of times their residency is connected to having a job.

00:10:01.000 So it turns them into basically an indentured slave.

00:10:04.000 Right or indentured slave so the company can do things like oh you have to work this weekend and then if if they're like no I don't want to it's like well maybe you do want to because you want to stay here.

00:10:14.000 Sure.

00:10:14.000 You know and and it really it becomes a tool of coercion by a company to you know tell a worker or two American workers you know they're so entitled they want these things called raises and you know maybe they want to take dri you know breaks and vacations and things like that but you can pluck a guy out of uh some war torn you know third world village and he's not gonna ask for any of that.

00:10:34.000 I actually I actually figured it out here at Timcast we we don't give raises we you get a you get an annual pay decrease and if you're really good we'll keep your salary at the same level so everyone's really fighting real hard well yeah yeah you can't even get a smoke break anymore because of these H1Bs you know it's a Zen break what's going on and you can the Zen you have to do while you're here. 1.00

00:10:53.000 Yeah, it's getting crazy out here.

00:10:55.000 Doesn't Tucker Carlson have his own brand of Zins?

00:10:57.000 He does.

00:10:57.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:10:58.000 They come damp.

00:10:59.000 It's a little wild.

00:11:00.000 Is that bad?

00:11:00.000 Well, I don't want to.

00:11:01.000 It feels like it's been pre-sucked on.

00:11:03.000 Oh, that's weird.

00:11:04.000 Pause, pause.

00:11:06.000 It never occurred to me.

00:11:06.000 Open a thing of gum?

00:11:07.000 It's like someone else already used it or something.

00:11:09.000 No, that's a good idea.

00:11:10.000 We should sell gum where when you open it up, it looks like gum with bite marks in it and a little wet.

00:11:16.000 As far as the pre-sucked on, it's like what he's really doing is he's getting all of his friends that use Zins. 0.96

00:11:21.000 It's all these H1Vs. 1.00

00:11:23.000 he just resells them.

00:11:25.000 Yeah it's bit them out and throw them in a thing and repackage them's like ah I'm gonna make millions.

00:11:30.000 Does he does he actually use them?

00:11:31.000 He likes sticks them in his mouth oh yeah it doesn't like make your gums rot and your teeth fall out no no well actually not according to RFK.

00:11:38.000 So I've done a little actually reading on it and as far as I know the nicotine pouches and stuff like that they're not they're they're not a carcinogen.

00:11:47.000 They don't rot your gums they don't you know because nicotine itself isn't a carcinogen it's all the other stuff that usually comes along I'm a heavy Zen user though and I did feel like the wall of my gum getting thinner and thinner.

00:11:59.000 Are you sure about that or are you just like neuron you stop doing it it restricts your it's a vasoconstrictor nicotine so it might it might be restricting but you're right that it's not it's not like it's definitely cancerous the healthiest way to use nicotine which in and of itself is harmless.

00:12:12.000 It's not the most awesome I tell you what I miss Marlboro's like a madman.

00:12:15.000 Yeah it doesn't have the same like gravitas smoking better than vaping though it's better than way more than on robot D. Yeah you're supposed to jog while you Zen and then what happens is your body starts conflating the Zen nicotine with jogging and you'll be like I gotta go for a run man and you'll get really you'll get like super fit.

00:12:32.000 That's probably a bad idea.

00:12:34.000 Well you can use Zen um if you're like if you're really trying to get into a habit you can use it as like a reward so then you're addicted to the habit because you know you're gonna get Zen dude it's genius.

00:12:42.000 Well like it's just addicted to Zen button you trick your body by do engaging in that routine behavior and that have love.

00:12:49.000 Yeah just talking about this I can't wait to get home I want to smoke a cigar well that's what they're saying it's like some dating advice is I don't know if this is legal but you can like put a nicotine pouch on the person that you want to date you know I'm just saying probably not legal but they're not legal this is not advice hey that'll break the restraining order broke been doing this H1Bs are doing this apparently the camera butt go out. 0.99

00:13:11.000 Uh maybe saw on that's what I thought it was.

00:13:14.000 Sorry.

00:13:14.000 Oh okay yeah it's fine.

00:13:16.000 But um anyway we're talking about not letting people into the country yeah well yeah that's the thing is like it does fill the H1Bs because the green card process takes so long that yeah they just become like total indentured servants. 1.00

00:13:27.000 And that's the pitch people are making most often but I'm also like Yeah, but this just harms Americans.

00:13:31.000 Like it sucks for them, but it's probably better than being in India. 1.00

00:13:34.000 But people don't realize that a lot of these like when you go to like a Chinese nail salon and stuff like that, when you go to places where it's very clearly all immigrant workers and it's a trend, these people are all slaves. 0.99

00:13:45.000 Right.

00:13:45.000 I I don't draw a distinction between indentured servant and slave.

00:13:48.000 I'm I mean, maybe I'm being a little hyperbolic, but you'll go to like a Chinese food restaurant, everybody working there is Asian.

00:13:54.000 What they do is the company will sponsor somebody or someone will sponsor somebody and they'll say, We'll bring you over here, it's gonna cost 20 grand and you're gonna work until you pay it off.

00:14:03.000 But it's ridiculously difficult to pay off when they're paying you three bucks an hour or whatever, and then you're getting you're getting paid properly, but you have no control of the money because your contract deal is in a different country.

00:14:15.000 This is kind of like when we saw the Chinese police stations in North America.

00:14:21.000 We can say you can't do that here, but they can hold contracts on other countries while they're here.

00:14:26.000 Yeah.

00:14:27.000 That's weird.

00:14:28.000 Yeah, and they're a good, a good it's it's a good argument against mass immigration because it shows when you have like the mass transfer of people from one country to ours, that like there's still that connection back to their country, and in a lot of ways, you know, it could be secret, you know, CCP police, it could be weird labor stuff going on.

00:14:47.000 It builds a connection that you might not want to have, and I would say we shouldn't have.

00:14:50.000 Someone just uh super chat or chatted checked the H1B Reddit, so I did.

00:14:54.000 Oh, they're crashing out right now.

00:14:56.000 Oh, dude, it is it is crazy.

00:14:58.000 They've never had more activity on their subreddit than now.

00:15:00.000 It's official executive order just signed about the 100,000 dollar fee.

00:15:05.000 Look at this administration reviewing, oh, that's from a month ago, 55 million holders for violations.

00:15:10.000 Rip H1B program.

00:15:12.000 Let's go.

00:15:14.000 Look at this.

00:15:14.000 In 2025, the total number of H1Bs is roughly 730,000, which is less than point five of the total US workforce of over 170 million rest in peace.

00:15:24.000 I'm telling you, people were saying, like I said, the title of the video is Trump just ended the H1B H1B program because it is an effective termination.

00:15:33.000 And there are people being like, No, we did it still there.

00:15:35.000 Bro, I'm telling you, this the it is cooked, right?

00:15:38.000 Ain't nobody's gonna bring on some $30,000 a year ice cream store manager now when they gotta pay $130,000 for it.

00:15:45.000 It also raised the the wage floor for the H1Bs from like 60k to 150K.

00:15:52.000 So you have to pay these people way more, which obviously, you know, if these are the best and brightest from around the world, then there shouldn't be a problem there.

00:15:58.000 But obviously, that's not what the program is.

00:16:00.000 It reincentivizes American, exactly and it replaced the the lottery dynamic of the H1B with kind of a highest bidder thing.

00:16:07.000 So it's a it's a great policy, and I just want to point out that there have been people claiming for like a year now that Donald Trump was gonna like massively expand the H1B program.

00:16:15.000 There's some viral posts like a few days ago, and all of these people are just totally wrong.

00:16:19.000 These people that just lie about Trump all the time.

00:16:21.000 So apparently it gets better.

00:16:22.000 It's not a hundred thousand for the visa, it's a hundred thousand every year.

00:16:25.000 Oh, yeah.

00:16:28.000 Yeah, it's a yearly fee.

00:16:29.000 Yeah, yo, I like look at this.

00:16:32.000 A hundred thousand per year as good as canceling H1Bs altogether. 1.00

00:16:36.000 Yeah, yes.

00:16:37.000 Yes, yes.

00:16:38.000 Not worth it even for those who make two hundred thousand.

00:16:41.000 Why is there an H1B V for a Reddit page?

00:16:44.000 What the crazy it's people from around the world trying to get into our country using this this program, and they're talking about how maybe not gaming the system, probably a bit of that, but how how you can make sure your application gets approved. 0.84

00:16:56.000 I guess the follow-up question to that is does ICE know that the H1B is free game?

00:17:01.000 Yeah, right.

00:17:02.000 Well, people are violating the law.

00:17:04.000 H1B years in disarray, panickins in disarray, Jimmy Camel's in disarray.

00:17:08.000 This is great.

00:17:08.000 Now for the rest of us Americans, but wait, there's more from NBC News, tear gas used on protesters at Chicago area ice site as immigration crackdown escalates.

00:17:19.000 Federal officers and camouflage and riot gear clashed as demonstrators blocked vehicles in protest of Trump's expanding enforcement suite.

00:17:28.000 Well, uh, I do believe we have video.

00:17:29.000 Wait, where did I put that video?

00:17:30.000 Get the spicy smoke.

00:17:32.000 Where's that video we have?

00:17:33.000 I don't know where.

00:17:34.000 Oh, here it is.

00:17:34.000 Here it is.

00:17:35.000 It's in the back for some reason.

00:17:37.000 Here you go.

00:17:37.000 Here's Kat Ebu Guzela getting uh getting shoved.

00:17:44.000 And then she slips shame.

00:17:51.000 So I gotta I got a question about this, right?

00:17:54.000 Why do we tolerate a bunch of people screaming and blocking and obstructing law enforcement?

00:18:00.000 That guy didn't.

00:18:01.000 I know, but like there's a there's a video of a guy like shaking his butt.

00:18:05.000 Yeah, cops being like, shoot me.

00:18:07.000 And I'm like, why don't you just arrest them all?

00:18:10.000 Honest question.

00:18:11.000 I understand peaceable, uh peaceful assembly.

00:18:13.000 And the the the idea there would be these people would be outside of the facility holding signs, chanting, not confronting and fighting with cops to the where the cops need to be armed.

00:18:24.000 The moment they step up and start physically obstructing, it's a riot, arrest them.

00:18:29.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:18:29.000 I agree with that.

00:18:30.000 Impeding federal law enforcement is absolutely a crime.

00:18:33.000 And I think the administration's trying to be pretty, you know, even handed with this.

00:18:38.000 Uh, but you know, I I think that there were some politicians up in like what was it, Boston who were arrested.

00:18:44.000 So they they are making some arrests.

00:18:46.000 I want to point out that Kat here is running for Congress, so she thinks it's a good idea to be seen impeding federal law enforcement. 1.00

00:18:54.000 And that really just shows where where the left is at this point.

00:18:57.000 You know, they haven't they haven't mellowed out, not at all.

00:18:59.000 Um you the mayor of what was it, Evanston?

00:19:02.000 Uh I forget the guy's name, but he was seen on camera wearing a mask, blocking an ice vehicle with with the crowd.

00:19:08.000 So the Democrats, it's not that they just believe in this.

00:19:10.000 They think that this is good.

00:19:12.000 They think that this is what their base wants.

00:19:13.000 And if you're running for Congress in what is it, Illinois, uh, yeah, then that probably is is what the Democrats want there.

00:19:20.000 I mean, the this kind of behavior does get clicks and it gets pe young people on Instagram excited and it gets young people to possibly even donate, but it doesn't get young people to the polls.

00:19:34.000 Yeah.

00:19:35.000 Young people don't eff and vote. 1.00

00:19:37.000 And I I mean, personally, I think that I I don't want to say that I wish that it weren't true, but I think that it's a reality that people should acknowledge.

00:19:46.000 Like, no matter how many people are on your Instagram live, no matter how many people are watching your reels, no matter how many people click on your your you know video of you getting manhandled by the police and tell you you're the best and how brave you are and give you all kinds of affirmations that doesn't translate into getting kids to the polls.

00:20:06.000 I have a I have a I have a question for where this all goes with this cat and U Gazela. 0.89

00:20:11.000 Um, if you go online and start espousing political beliefs that are that are favorable to a foreign nation, like let's say you make a channel that's just all about Japanese politics, and you're sitting there and you're screaming and you're yelling and you know, Konichiwa or whatever, and Japanese people are watching your show and you're making millions of dollars.

00:20:32.000 Then in America, with the millions of dollars you make, you announce you're running for Congress, and you use all that money to win your congressional race and then start basically lobbying on behalf of Japan.

00:20:43.000 And do we have an answer for when this happens?

00:20:46.000 Because I feel like this is what we're seeing right now, actually.

00:20:48.000 There are people who go on social media, they build a big following, but the following is going to be a lot of foreign individuals who have interests in the certain ideas they may be pushing.

00:20:59.000 Then they're going to start running for office and they're going to have a monetary base, not when they're running for office, because at that point you cut it off.

00:21:06.000 But you know, I think the story was that what Hillary Clinton gave us before she announced she was running for office, she gave a speech to Goldman Sachs for like $250,000, and everyone's like, we get it.

00:21:15.000 Okay.

00:21:16.000 That's a campaign contribution so long as it's a speaker fee.

00:21:19.000 Right.

00:21:20.000 Nobody like you can't legally do anything about it.

00:21:22.000 What are we going to do when people build big followings of foreign, you know, uh individuals?

00:21:26.000 I'm not saying I'm not saying it's illicit.

00:21:28.000 I'm saying somebody literally is like, I'm very much interested interested in the politics of the Middle East.

00:21:32.000 They build up a big following of Middle Eastern individuals.

00:21:35.000 They've they have a million, two million followers, they start posting sponsorships and ads, they start making money off that, they make themselves millionaires, and then they say, I'm gonna finance my own campaign with my money and win, but their interest is lobbying for a foreign country.

00:21:50.000 Yeah, it's a problem because I think most people would agree that that's like definitely an eth ethically questionable at the very least.

00:21:56.000 But you're right that if done in that way in that order, it wouldn't necessarily violate any you know campaign finance laws.

00:22:02.000 But our country's cooked.

00:22:03.000 Yeah, and the the internet grows more third world uh every day.

00:22:07.000 And you know, we're seeing this play out with a lot of different narratives and you know, sort of movements and um and you're right.

00:22:13.000 I hadn't actually considered that angle, but yeah, I would imagine we're gonna feel the political direct political ramifications of that more and more in the coming decades.

00:22:20.000 I I bring this up because Kat Abu Ghazala, I believe she is Palestinian.

00:22:25.000 I believe so.

00:22:25.000 Yeah, like I think her dad is Palestinian.

00:22:27.000 So she has a foreign interest.

00:22:29.000 And fair point, I know everyone's gonna bring it up, Israel, 100%. 0.99

00:22:32.000 I'm not I'm not counting that out.

00:22:34.000 There are people who have duels, citizenships, or other loyalties, and they will build up a base from people in foreign countries that will finance or fund them.

00:22:44.000 Then later on when they run for office.

00:22:46.000 And I and to be fair, we can even exclude the run for office part.

00:22:50.000 Um we are going to have prominent individuals lobbying on behalf of foreign countries in this country because their audience is gonna be composed of people from foreign countries.

00:23:00.000 I think it's already happening.

00:23:01.000 That's already happening 100%.

00:23:02.000 And and the H1B thing, I think, especially. 0.61

00:23:05.000 And that's why many of us have been saying, you know, Elon needs to create a way to region lock so that we do not see views, comments, retweets or posts from countries we don't want to.

00:23:16.000 So like let's see someone, let's say someone posts a tweet where they're like, you know, uh, what's a you know, uh, what's a good country that's obscure and no one cares about?

00:23:24.000 I don't know.

00:23:24.000 I'm not gonna no matter what I say, someone's gonna have some problem with it.

00:23:27.000 So they they they say some slogan for some country, and uh they get a million views on it.

00:23:35.000 Some some kid, 15-year-old, logs in and sees a million views on this post and thinks it's American views.

00:23:41.000 Right.

00:23:41.000 And they don't realize it's a bunch of like Eritreans cheering, woo.

00:23:44.000 Yeah, and so they start replicating that content to pander to a foreign country in the United States.

00:23:50.000 Yeah, I mean, well, you're seeing like yeah, the very small scale version, like with Elon Omar, where she basically has like an ethnic enclave behind her, ensuring election after election.

00:23:59.000 Um and you see the way she's behaved just with that. 0.86

00:24:02.000 I mean, she's still accountable to a large degree to the rest of the country. 0.92

00:24:04.000 She is in the House of Representatives, but ultimately she's accountable to her district and she rewards them. 0.77

00:24:09.000 She advocates and lobbies for Somali interests and in Congress.

00:24:12.000 And so she's like literally will say it in Somali, and you're sitting here like something's not adding up here.

00:24:20.000 Yeah, she's basically a representative from Somalia for the United States.

00:24:23.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:24:24.000 Which I mean, that kind of stuff.

00:24:25.000 I I don't know what the solution is, how to prevent that, but that's something that should not happen.

00:24:32.000 Like we should not have a person in Congress that's essentially repos representing another country, whether it doesn't matter if it's Somalia or any other country, like they should not be representing a foreign nation. 0.97

00:24:43.000 Well, and it's like the thing with Elon, it's like, okay, there's this this push now to get her denaturalized and deported, etc.

00:24:48.000 etc.

00:24:49.000 It's like, yeah, I mean, that'd be that'd be great.

00:24:50.000 That would be a solution.

00:24:51.000 But the problem is you're gonna have more and more people like her who actually are like we're born here and everything passes everything, you know, everything's above the board.

00:24:58.000 She wasn't, but I'm saying is like, okay, you get her out, you're gonna have the same problem because they're just gonna elect another Somali. 1.00

00:25:03.000 And this guy might have been born there.

00:25:04.000 So I you know what?

00:25:05.000 I think that's a reality.

00:25:07.000 I think the let's let's start here.

00:25:09.000 Someone's going to lobby on behalf of foreign interests, it's gonna happen.

00:25:13.000 And obviously, Israel is a really great example.

00:25:15.000 We like our members of Congress go over there all the time.

00:25:18.000 There's there's there's there's two citizens.

00:25:20.000 Yeah, there are a bunch of dual citizens, people that are citizens of Israel and citizens of the US, and they're in Congress, you know.

00:25:25.000 And you and and and that shouldn't be the case.

00:25:28.000 And uh, so that yes, Ilhan Omar, let's start here.

00:25:32.000 She's not from here.

00:25:33.000 She em she immigrated here, emigrated here, and uh, okay, that's fine.

00:25:38.000 Did she commit fraud? 0.72

00:25:40.000 Right.

00:25:40.000 Okay, and if the answer is yes, then we denaturalize and deport.

00:25:43.000 I don't care if she won an election or otherwise.

00:25:44.000 And that's true for anybody for any country.

00:25:46.000 Sure.

00:25:46.000 I'm just saying, like it, even if we get that done, it's like that's great, and I agree that should be done.

00:25:50.000 It's like you're gonna kick the can, like we have to address why there's so many Somalis in Minneapolis. 1.00

00:25:54.000 Because all they're gonna do is just elect another Elon Omar.

00:25:56.000 And this time they'll like make sure she didn't marry your brother this time. 0.83

00:25:59.000 So it's like at a certain point, same thing with Zoran, like same thing with Rashida Talebus.

00:26:03.000 You have to ask, why are there so many people in these districts or in these cities that are voting purely on ethnic interests?

00:26:09.000 Yeah.

00:26:09.000 So well, we brought in, you know, many millions of people from all around the world that uh believe it or not, don't buy into kind of Anglo-liberal individualism, and uh it's just an incredibly you know, tribalism is the norm outside of outside of the West, and you know, even just more specifically the Anglosphere.

00:26:27.000 So uh you when you bring people over in small amounts, they generally will assimilate.

00:26:31.000 When you bring people over in large amounts, they're less likely to assimilate.

00:26:35.000 And when you consider what immigrants are assimilating to now, it could be you know black lives matter and uh liberalism just generally.

00:26:41.000 I'm getting uh one second, I have a correction.

00:26:44.000 I'm getting a text here.

00:26:45.000 Uh they're asking me to say it is completely okay that we have members of Congress that travel to Israel and pledge support for Israel.

00:26:52.000 Thank you and have a nice day.

00:26:54.000 Man, that's weird a lot didn't text me.

00:26:58.000 I'm kidding.

00:26:59.000 I yeah, I I I don't care what country it is.

00:27:01.000 A bunch of people in Pakistan watching the stream just got very mad.

00:27:05.000 They're calling you Jewish on Twitter.

00:27:06.000 It's a dude.

00:27:07.000 Yeah.

00:27:08.000 Oh I I get it too.

00:27:09.000 I get it too.

00:27:10.000 Yeah.

00:27:10.000 Even on tweets that have nothing to do with Israel.

00:27:12.000 I'm just like, I want less immigration and someone's like Jew, and I look at their I look at their like location like Bangladesh or something, and it's like, really? 1.00

00:27:20.000 All right.

00:27:20.000 Yeah.

00:27:21.000 I guess that's that's what in Jewish is.

00:27:23.000 I think, you know, it's really funny too, because uh Netanyahu issued a statement about how he did not kill Charlie Kirk.

00:27:28.000 And this is like the weirdest timeline here in.

00:27:30.000 Yeah.

00:27:31.000 And uh he said that uh I think he accused Cutter.

00:27:34.000 Is that who you accused?

00:27:35.000 He said foreign nations are funding all this stuff.

00:27:38.000 The like the influence narratives, not the actual assassination.

00:27:42.000 No, no, yeah, the the the narratives.

00:27:43.000 Like I think he I'm sure I'm sure he did, and uh I'm sure you know Cotter has some level of online influence, not just everyone does.

00:27:51.000 Yeah, that's that's definitely the most uh realistic take on it.

00:27:55.000 Yeah, it's absolutely wild how uh Nick Fuentes came out as the voice of reason saying, like, guys, come on, like Israel didn't kill him.

00:28:03.000 I never thought it wasn't Israel would be a sentence that I heard come out of Nick Fuentes' mouth.

00:28:09.000 But I mean, look, it it it does actually it.

00:28:13.000 I mean, look, there are people that are already saying Nick got the call.

00:28:16.000 That's BS.

00:28:17.000 Um, but like it does actually add to his his credit, like gives him a little a modicum of credibility because you're like, all right, well, uh he then this makes me believe that even if I disagree with him about his his takes about Israel, he's honest about them.

00:28:31.000 He really does believe these things because he's saying this particular case I don't think is Israel.

00:28:36.000 So like if you if he were just a a grifter that was grifting off of of anti-Israel sentiment, because there's a lot of people globally that are really anti-Israel, and you can make a lot of money and get a lot of followers by being anti-Israel.

00:28:48.000 And if he was actually just a grifter and didn't actually at least believe the things that he said, why wouldn't he say, well, of course Israel was going after Charlie Kirk.

00:28:58.000 Well, of course, you know, it it would probably satisfy a large portion of his less attached to reality followers, you know.

00:29:07.000 So you guys know how I met with uh Netanyahu earlier this year, a few months ago.

00:29:11.000 Yeah.

00:29:11.000 And it was Chatham House rules, meaning we're not supposed to reveal anybody who is there.

00:29:16.000 Nick Fuentes was there.

00:29:18.000 That was a joke.

00:29:21.000 Anyway, moving on.

00:29:23.000 You know, unfortunately now there's gonna be a bunch of people that are gonna be like, that proves it, and they're gonna start tweeting at him, and they're gonna say he got the call, and Tim Pool claimed he was there.

00:29:30.000 And I'm like, I'm literally joking, Nick was not there.

00:29:33.000 Yeah.

00:29:33.000 Tim Pool outflanks everyone on the Israel issue.

00:29:37.000 I I just I I really do think that um you know, a lot of people will frame all of it as like influence operations manipulation.

00:29:43.000 I think it's just real people.

00:29:45.000 There there are there are real people that live in other countries that watch content.

00:29:49.000 Uh there's like uh I I I watch content from a bunch of foreign people, they skateboard. 1.00

00:29:54.000 You know, there's a lot of Japanese content and skateboarding.

00:29:57.000 So I'm watching a bunch of stuff on Instagram from Japanese people about Japan, and I'm like, look at that, you know, whatever.

00:30:02.000 And people in Japan have interest in the things we do here.

00:30:06.000 So for politics, especially considering the United States is basically the top of the mountain, they're going to be watching all this political commentary.

00:30:13.000 And English is the business language of the world.

00:30:15.000 So a lot of these people speak to a certain degree English, or will use translators, and now with like X is auto-translating.

00:30:22.000 So you're going to get people from all over the world commenting, doing we gotta we gotta we gotta we gotta be able to block that.

00:30:28.000 I I I want to be able to go on X and be like, I only want to see America.

00:30:32.000 You know, to be typically honest, I'd say Canada, the US, Mexico, and maybe uh Europe.

00:30:38.000 I mean honestly, what it not that I know anything about the back end at at X, but I mean it seems like it wouldn't be particularly difficult to just say these are the you know, select the country.

00:30:48.000 Here's a list of countries that I care about.

00:30:50.000 I want to see tweets from this these regions.

00:30:52.000 Because there's never been like a I'm seeing like a really intellectual discourse going on.

00:30:55.000 I'm like, you know what?

00:30:56.000 What what does someone from Pakistan think about this? 1.00

00:30:58.000 It's never occurred to me once in my life.

00:31:00.000 You know, to be fair, I'm I'm very concerned about what Malaysians think, but it's okay because I follow Ian Miles Chong. 1.00

00:31:05.000 Sure.

00:31:05.000 He's on the case.

00:31:07.000 It just so happens that he reflects my opinion back at me quite often.

00:31:10.000 Fair enough.

00:31:12.000 Ian Miles Chong is very uh familiar with what America thinks and stuff, but I imagine he has no idea what Malaysia is.

00:31:19.000 I gotta imagine he lives like a king in Malaysia.

00:31:21.000 Probably, yeah.

00:31:22.000 Because he's producing content for Americans.

00:31:24.000 It's very smart.

00:31:25.000 Yeah.

00:31:25.000 I you know what I I gotta be honest.

00:31:28.000 There's something that's like uh uh uh a net negative.

00:31:31.000 It's an it's a neutral thing.

00:31:33.000 We don't want foreign individuals to realize they can produce content to pander to us and get advertiser dollars off of it. 1.00

00:31:40.000 But he's saying the right things.

00:31:41.000 You know what I mean?

00:31:43.000 So I'm like, it's sometimes what's the GDP of Malaysia.

00:31:47.000 Well, also like 45 cents.

00:31:48.000 No one's gotta be more crushed than him that the America Party thing's not happening.

00:31:52.000 I was gonna say, yeah, you uh yeah, you know, Miles Strong is like generally on the right, but yeah, he sided with Elon's crash out that Elon himself has like walked back distance himself from to his credit.

00:32:03.000 Yeah, credit where credit's due.

00:32:04.000 $13,000 is there uh GDP per capita.

00:32:07.000 Oh, he's raking it in, yeah.

00:32:08.000 Bro, I mean, what is the what is it like 70,000 in the United States or something like that?

00:32:12.000 Yeah, give or say 68, I think.

00:32:14.000 Let me let me let me let me check United States.

00:32:17.000 United States GDP.

00:32:19.000 Because if you're making good influencer money with hundreds of thousands of followers, it is 89,000.

00:32:27.000 That's inflation for you.

00:32:28.000 Jeez.

00:32:29.000 Bro, if you had a if you had a hundred thousand dollars per year and you're living in Malaysia, you're ten times you've got a compound, you've got a driver, you've got the man.

00:32:39.000 Yeah.

00:32:39.000 Maybe we should relocate IRL to the lower uh to you know, to Malaysia.

00:32:43.000 It's not about Singapore.

00:32:45.000 South Africa.

00:32:46.000 Singapore would be a lot.

00:32:47.000 Yeah.

00:32:48.000 South Africa, that'd be wild.

00:32:49.000 That'd be cheap.

00:32:50.000 Yeah.

00:32:51.000 Maybe maybe we'll get a farm, you know.

00:32:53.000 Yeah.

00:32:54.000 Sing some songs.

00:32:56.000 You know, uh we'll do th well it we'll we'll basically live in a triple Faraday cage just for our own security.

00:33:02.000 Yeah.

00:33:02.000 I always thought that like if Elon really wanted to, he could return to South Africa and just spend like a quarter of his net worth and just rule the country for like in perpetuity.

00:33:09.000 Just saying, I like having him here to fight for us, but like he could do that whenever he wants.

00:33:13.000 The problem is it's too far away from the equator for launching into space.

00:33:16.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:33:17.000 Yeah, he would have to like hire some PMCs to take some some land or something.

00:33:22.000 I don't know.

00:33:23.000 But I don't know if you're listening.

00:33:24.000 I mean, that's a it's a you could literally just become king, like really whenever you want.

00:33:27.000 Yeah.

00:33:28.000 You just let's jump to this next story from NPR.

00:33:31.000 We are all Jimmy Kimmel.

00:33:33.000 What late night hosts are saying about Kimmel's suspension.

00:33:35.000 Well, I'll give you the gist.

00:33:36.000 Stephen Colbert basically doubled down.

00:33:40.000 He showed on his show the clip of Jimmy Kimmel saying the shooter was effectively MAGA, and then he goes, Is that it?

00:33:47.000 What's wrong with that?

00:33:48.000 Like he's just being Jimmy Kimmel.

00:33:49.000 That's totally fine.

00:33:50.000 And I think what Colbert is doing, I think he's trying to get fired.

00:33:54.000 His show is already canceled.

00:33:55.000 He's already super rich.

00:33:57.000 He doesn't need to do this anymore.

00:33:59.000 His ratings are in the gutter.

00:34:01.000 Could you imagine?

00:34:01.000 Jimmy, you know, Jimmy Kimmel's only getting 129,000 the key demo.

00:34:05.000 Dude.

00:34:05.000 I I I gotta I gotta be completely honest.

00:34:08.000 If you are like a college age dude, you're Gen Z, and you finally reach that point where your podcast every day you're doing an hour long podcast, you're cracking 129,000, you're going like this is amazing.

00:34:23.000 Because if you're getting 129K on a podcast in the key demo, you are making money on that podcast.

00:34:29.000 Let me let me I mean, you you're probably making like half a million a year with proper sponsorships and all that stuff.

00:34:34.000 You don't always sell, sometimes you do.

00:34:36.000 So you're you're you're Gen Z, you're like, this is fantastic.

00:34:38.000 But when you're someone like Jimmy Kimmel and you're worth tens of millions, and you're watching your ratings just plummet, I'm sure he's gotta be having an existential crisis.

00:34:50.000 Cole Bear, I I should say more more to this to this point.

00:34:53.000 Cole Bear used to get millions, and now the ratings are just in the gutter.

00:34:58.000 And while he's still getting like a million half to two million in in the retiree demographic, I'm not trying to disrespect retirees, key demo is gone.

00:35:06.000 At a certain point, don't you just take a look at the numbers and go, well, it was good while it lasted.

00:35:13.000 You know, there there were bands that put out two albums and they're on the top, and then you never hear from them again.

00:35:17.000 Yep.

00:35:17.000 So Colbert, I think, is basically like they canceled the contract, but I'm stuck here.

00:35:22.000 I'm stuck here until the next eight months.

00:35:25.000 I know.

00:35:27.000 He can't violate the morality clause in his contract overtly, because then they'll just come after him for money.

00:35:34.000 But if he pokes a bear quite a bit, then they might just be like, all right, Colbert, you're you're off the air, and he'd go, Oh, thank God.

00:35:42.000 Yeah, I mean, look, the whole, you know, I'm gonna double down, and I've got, you know, he had the story that he's got a had a more inflammatory monologue to give the second day that the after he initially kind of you know offended people, um That kind of makes me think that you might have a point.

00:36:02.000 Um, because look, it was clear that like the first things that he said, while they were distasteful, they weren't they weren't really like going after either the voters or or gym or uh Charlie Kirk himself.

00:36:19.000 It was it was definitely poking at Trump, which is you know standard fair for Jimmy Kimmel.

00:36:23.000 Um but if he was going to do a monologue going after you know the MAGA voters, you know, the essentially which is basically most of the Republicans nowadays, you know, the vast majority at least, that I mean I'd underst I understand why they would be like, yo, we we don't want this, you know.

00:36:41.000 So maybe maybe he did have a I think Colbert is gonna say it and if it if I if it ends up killing, you know, killing my my employment here, that's fine.

00:36:48.000 Colbert's legacy right now is he fizzled out and fell apart.

00:36:53.000 If he gets fired overtly and his show is taken off the air abruptly, then he's gonna start doing the rounds and you know, go to liberal circuit and be like, look at Trump, he's a fascist.

00:37:03.000 This proves it.

00:37:04.000 Yeah.

00:37:04.000 Well, I think he's like envious that Kimmel in and of himself has become like a wedge issue now.

00:37:08.000 And he's like, that should have been me.

00:37:09.000 That's true.

00:37:11.000 Exactly.

00:37:11.000 Colbert's show is that they announced they were terminating the contract, but they're keeping him on the air, so it's not that big a deal.

00:37:15.000 And then Kimball gets yanked at the last minute, and Colbert's like.

00:37:20.000 I have to imagine.

00:37:20.000 How old is Colbert?

00:37:21.000 Like 70.

00:37:24.000 He might be, you know.

00:37:25.000 It's a lot of hair dye going on.

00:37:28.000 70 years old.

00:37:29.000 How old is he?

00:37:29.000 Let's let's let's find out.

00:37:31.000 He's uh 61.

00:37:33.000 All right, I wasn't that far off.

00:37:34.000 But I'm as old as most of the people watching at this point.

00:37:37.000 Or older.

00:37:38.000 No, but for real, there's 70, it's about 70 plus.

00:37:41.000 Uh, I have to imagine when you're 61, not everybody, but a lot of people, you and you're worth tens of millions.

00:37:47.000 I mean, what's Colbert's net worth?

00:37:49.000 Let's find out.

00:37:49.000 Colbert net worth.

00:37:50.000 These things are always wrong.

00:37:52.000 What's the ballpark on his net worth?

00:37:54.000 75 million?

00:37:55.000 Bro, don't you just wanna put your feet up and sip a pina colada and you know, just chill.

00:38:03.000 What's he doing?

00:38:04.000 His is it's like his ratings are so down in the gutter.

00:38:11.000 He's gotta just be like, well, you know, been there, done that, won his Emmys, had a massive show to the millions, and now he's fizzling out.

00:38:20.000 Audience dwindling, he's worth an estimated 75 million.

00:38:24.000 He can just uh right off into the sunset, you know, enjoy life.

00:38:28.000 Does he have big uh you know big notes on his house?

00:38:31.000 Is he living above his means?

00:38:34.000 I don't know, man.

00:38:34.000 They say he's worth 75 million.

00:38:36.000 It says that his salary in for the co for the late show with Colbert in 2015 was six million dollars.

00:38:42.000 And then in 2019, they signed a deal that raised his pay to 15 million, extended to May 2026.

00:38:48.000 Yeah, I mean, look, if you want to live like a normal person, if you have 10 million dollars in the bank, that's plenty of money to live completely normal if you you know if you're not living above your means, if you want to just like live like a normal person.

00:38:59.000 That's enough to live in like your life.

00:39:00.000 So he's an instant.

00:39:01.000 I think he was kind of hoping that they would uh take his show off for selling something.

00:39:06.000 He just did it.

00:39:06.000 This is just last night.

00:39:08.000 I think he wants he wants a mega backlash.

00:39:11.000 He wants people to go like, you're just rebroadcasting what Kimmel said and you're lying, you're lying to your audience.

00:39:17.000 Right.

00:39:17.000 So that he can get taken down.

00:39:19.000 And he's he's he gets paid.

00:39:22.000 I mean, let me just stress 15 million dollars a year.

00:39:25.000 One could just imagine.

00:39:27.000 That's a that's more than one million dollars per month.

00:39:30.000 You are getting paid.

00:39:31.000 He's getting like 1.3 million per month.

00:39:34.000 That's what he's getting paid.

00:39:36.000 What I don't even know what you do with that much money.

00:39:39.000 I don't think I don't think a regular human could spend that on normal things.

00:39:42.000 Well, the show's in New York, so rent.

00:39:44.000 Uh-huh.

00:39:45.000 Yeah.

00:39:47.000 No, but I don't know.

00:39:48.000 Like, what do you do in this situation?

00:39:49.000 Because he's not he's outside of Like LA.

00:39:52.000 I don't know what any human does with that amount of money.

00:39:56.000 I I I really don't.

00:39:59.000 Like private private jets, if you if when you're getting uh 1.3 million per month, you're literally you you could you could fly.

00:40:08.000 Well, to be fair, you're not if you're a billionaire, you're flying out like Taylor Swift is flying wherever she wants on a large jet.

00:40:14.000 At 1.3 million per month, you're maybe flying on the weekends anywhere you want to go.

00:40:20.000 And it's not putting a dent in your money.

00:40:22.000 So I mean, if you were gonna fly like round trip to Europe, it's probably a hundred grand.

00:40:26.000 And so for Colbert, he's like, you want to do a weekend in Prague?

00:40:30.000 What do we care?

00:40:31.000 One thirteenth of my monthly monthly salary.

00:40:34.000 And again, again, like when you have that kind of money, you're it you've got millions invested, and the money itself that you've invested grows likely faster than you can spend it unless you're you know, unless you're going in and doing like high stakes games in Vegas.

00:40:50.000 Oh dividends alone.

00:40:51.000 This is what's crazy.

00:40:52.000 So I don't have a lot invested in the stock market.

00:40:55.000 Like I don't I don't I I actually don't have even like a standard retirement account, but I have stocks and the dividends that many of these some of these stocks pay, you just keep buying more.

00:41:06.000 Like they they buy themselves, it's crazy.

00:41:09.000 I can't imagine somebody who's making 1.3 million, 15 million dollars a year.

00:41:13.000 I mean, he's he's he he they say his net worth is 75 million.

00:41:16.000 If that's properly invested in the market, it's infinite money.

00:41:21.000 I think I think based uh so uh John McCain famously said in the 2008 cycle when he was asked how much money do you need to do you need to be wealthy, hit seven million dollars, and then people got all shocked and offended because they're like, Are you kidding?

00:41:33.000 If I had a million bucks, and what he was saying was if you have seven million dollars in 2008 and you put that into proper wealth management, you are getting paid uh uh your annual uh your annual return minus inflation will cover your standard middle class cost of living.

00:41:52.000 You are truly wealthy, you don't have to work anymore.

00:41:55.000 Today, based on the market expansion, you probably need something like well, to be fair, no, I mean, even with cost of living going up, you could still feasibly at 10 million never have to work again and be rich.

00:42:06.000 And I'm not talking about middle class, I'm saying rich.

00:42:09.000 You never gotta work again.

00:42:10.000 You're again, you're not gonna be flying a you know, flying private jets all the time, you know, if you if you don't want to work, but at 10 million dollars in the bank, you don't have to worry about anything.

00:42:20.000 That's your F U money, you know.

00:42:22.000 So regardless, Colbert at this point is looking for a legacy, not a paycheck.

00:42:26.000 Yeah, I think Colbert probably cares more about status, attention, fame.

00:42:29.000 You know, he's obviously as you've established not uh wanting for money, but I I think a lot of liberals are very I mean, conservatives are to some extent, but liberals are very driven by virtue signaling, by status, and yeah, I mean, these are these are not religious people.

00:42:44.000 They get they get that kind of feeling by doing other things.

00:42:48.000 But I do I do like your theory that he's he just kind of maybe wants the show to be over because it's not doing well, and if it was canceled, he could be like they canceled my super popular show, and you know, I'm I'm kind of my own sort of martyr for for my beliefs, and just like not go back to doing a show because no one's gonna watch it.

00:43:04.000 Yeah, because to be fair, I just looked up in July, he got three million uh not it's not key demo, key demo.

00:43:11.000 I think he's getting two hundred and something thousand, but uh three million that's a lot of you know, older folks.

00:43:18.000 But once the boomers die off, there's not gonna be an audience for the like general procession is generational procession is gonna get rid of some of these like forms, the whole like a late night top the done. 0.94

00:43:29.000 The apocalypse that is coming for us because the boomers have just reached what's called the mortality shelf. 0.99

00:43:35.000 Okay.

00:43:36.000 So uh Trump is I think Trump's 79 now, right?

00:43:38.000 We we've we've had this conversation so many times.

00:43:41.000 He's he's he's the oldest of the boomers.

00:43:43.000 He was born, I think, at the uh the earliest point at which you could be a boomer, and he is at life expectancy at 79.

00:43:48.000 Okay.

00:43:48.000 So what happens now is we are gonna start seeing an exponential cult death rate.

00:43:53.000 Like the death rate for boomers is is skyrocketing now because they are getting close to that age.

00:43:57.000 Now I know people are living longer these days, but with the current way things are going politically, we the expectation is that the mortality shelf should be the same for boomers as it has been for every generation.

00:44:07.000 So right now there's about 60 million boomers, I think, and within the next 10 years it'll drop down to 20 million.

00:44:12.000 So that means all of these institutions will cease to exist in the next 10 years.

00:44:18.000 Where we go, I honestly don't know.

00:44:20.000 There's a lot of variables in politics and economics, but the one thing we can talk about is the housing market, which is predominantly controlled by the boomers.

00:44:28.000 They own, I think, something like 60, 70% of of real estate.

00:44:33.000 They own something like 40% of corporate equities.

00:44:36.000 Gen, uh uh, Gen X has like 20% millennials have like five and Gen Z has zero.

00:44:41.000 So when boomers die, what happens to all that property? 1.00

00:44:45.000 Yeah, I mean, well, you get Trump and then you know, hypothetically Vance for eight years.

00:44:48.000 That's effectively no immigration for 12 years straight and then compounded with the entire boomer housing market being freed up.

00:44:56.000 I mean, it could get pretty like maybe Zoomers could own a house at the end of the day. 1.00

00:44:59.000 I don't know.

00:45:00.000 I mean, with what those two factors that seems to suggest they're the marketing.

00:45:04.000 I think the housing market's going to collapse massively unless the government steps in with BlackRock and the Federal Reserve and props up the property value, which is what they might try and do, which will cause international problems because foreign countries are going to be like, this is fake.

00:45:22.000 So basically the idea is boomers have multiple homes. 0.51

00:45:27.000 Gen Z has none. 0.99

00:45:28.000 Millennials, half of millennials have homes, seventy-five percent of Gen X have homes.

00:45:33.000 The idea is that when boomers die, millennials are the ones who largely inherit those properties.

00:45:38.000 But without boomers, who can buy properties? 1.00

00:45:40.000 Millennials can't afford it. 1.00

00:45:42.000 So a millennial who who moved from St. Louis to New York to go to the big city, inherits a house in St. Louis and says, I don't want to live in St. Louis.

00:45:50.000 They go to they inherit the home and you know their parents die, and it's very sad, and they go to their lawyer and say, I just want to find someone to sell it.

00:45:55.000 They get an agent, the agent lists the house.

00:45:57.000 It's a $500,000 house.

00:45:58.000 No one wants to buy it.

00:45:59.000 Why?

00:45:59.000 Millennials can't afford it.

00:46:01.000 So then they say, Well, just look, I'm not gonna come and deal with this.

00:46:04.000 There's taxes, there's bills, just drop the price.

00:46:06.000 400,000, nobody buys it.

00:46:08.000 300,000, nobody buys it.

00:46:09.000 250.

00:46:10.000 Some millennials says, Okay, I can do 250.

00:46:13.000 I can afford a loan on 250.

00:46:16.000 So prop the housing market just collapses by some massive number overnight, and that's gonna cause a shock wave around the world because of what that's gonna affect.

00:46:24.000 There's an alternative.

00:46:26.000 Fearing an economic crisis because of the collapse of of prices of housing prices, the government says, let's have those homes be bought up, excuse me, by BlackRock or other uh companies that are funded by the Federal that they basically get free money from the Federal Reserve.

00:46:41.000 So the millennial inherits the house and says it's a $500 house, $500,000 house, list it.

00:46:47.000 Nobody wants to buy it.

00:46:48.000 The government says we can't let them drop the prices.

00:46:52.000 So black BlackRock comes in and says, We'll buy it at $500, and the money came from the Federal Reserve printed out of thin air.

00:46:58.000 And then that millennial has that money, and then they translate it into some other you know market, and that's how they prop up the housing market and prevent the global crisis, which is what some people think is happening right now, actually.

00:47:09.000 Well, I mean, presumably, like if a Democrat won in 28, you would just get Canada situation because like Canada's like five, six years older than us on average, they have a very old population, so they're kind of ahead of us in the death curve.

00:47:20.000 Well, that's why they're importing the rest of the world. 1.00

00:47:21.000 Right.

00:47:21.000 So I mean, like if a Democrat were to win in 28, that changes the calculus, they'll just flood the country with migrants again, and that'll keep the housing market afloat.

00:47:28.000 But yeah, Vance wins, I mean, that could totally happen.

00:47:31.000 It won't keep the housing market afloat because Honduran farmers can't afford $500,000 houses. 1.00

00:47:36.000 No.

00:47:36.000 Yeah.

00:47:37.000 Indeed.

00:47:38.000 So that's why printing fake money, you'll see massive inflation.

00:47:42.000 You'll see really weird things happening.

00:47:44.000 I gotta tell you, haven't you guys noticed how weird everything is already with people who shouldn't be making lots of money, making lots of money, lots of gambling.

00:47:53.000 Yeah, the gambling's really weird.

00:47:55.000 The gambling is very strange.

00:47:56.000 How are there casinos everywhere?

00:47:58.000 How is that that how is it that there are people who have such disposable income at a time?

00:48:01.000 Like half the country has zero, has almost no money, and it's like I can't buy eggs, and the other half is like, let's go burn money at a casino.

00:48:07.000 Yeah.

00:48:08.000 Do you think there's a generational sort of dynamic there?

00:48:10.000 It's like boom the stereotype, which you know might be somewhat justified of boomers gambling away, spending away their you know, children's grandchildren's inheritance. 0.57

00:48:19.000 I just is one example.

00:48:20.000 I haven't been to Vegas.

00:48:22.000 Or social security.

00:48:22.000 Right, yeah, sure, sure.

00:48:24.000 I uh I haven't been to Vegas, I haven't been to many casinos, and but I did go to the one in uh Charleston, you know, you've got the uh Charles Town Charles Town, Charlestown, yes.

00:48:32.000 Because that there are two cities.

00:48:33.000 I'm aware, yeah.

00:48:34.000 The one the cl, you know, close to the city.

00:48:35.000 And they both have a casino.

00:48:37.000 Do they really?

00:48:37.000 Yeah.

00:48:37.000 Mardi Gras and Hollywood.

00:48:39.000 Yeah.

00:48:39.000 So I went to the one in Charlestown, and uh, yeah, it was entirely maybe it was just because of the part of the country that it's in, but everyone was like 60, 70.

00:48:49.000 So um, let me let me think.

00:48:51.000 Um, I think you're probably right.

00:48:54.000 I I actually think it's probably a lot of people in their 50s, a lot of Gen X. Gen X too.

00:48:58.000 Okay.

00:48:58.000 Yeah, and the interesting thing is uh poker's really interesting because there's uh there's a term in poker called old man coffee, and it's just like an old guy who just sits there and never plays a hand, and then when he finally does, you know he's got aces.

00:49:10.000 Okay.

00:49:10.000 But there's a reason for this, and it's because and this is kind of sad.

00:49:14.000 The reason why in these poker rooms, there's really old people who just sit there and never play a hand until only when they get the best one, which is fairly rare. 0.99

00:49:22.000 They they don't want to be lonely.

00:49:23.000 Sure.

00:49:24.000 And so these are old people who maybe they're widowers or widows, and it's rare that you see older ladies in the poker room, But they just want to hang out. 1.00

00:49:31.000 They want to be around people and they want to talk and people are talking.

00:49:35.000 And uh they're gambling social security checks.

00:49:38.000 Yeah.

00:49:39.000 So it's like they come in when the check comes in for the week or whatever, they cash it, go sit in the poker room.

00:49:45.000 And then the sad thing is when you like these young guys, rounders they call them.

00:49:51.000 No one really says that anymore, but people who try to make money off poker know.

00:49:55.000 Anytime one of these guys tries to enter a hand, you jam all your chips in, they'll fold because they're not there to win money.

00:50:02.000 They're there to hang out and they don't want to risk their money.

00:50:04.000 Sure.

00:50:05.000 So only when they have the best possible hand, and then everyone kind of feels bad when the old man like sits down, loses everything right away and goes, Well, I guess that's it for this week.

00:50:15.000 I'll see you next time.

00:50:16.000 And it's like he was there for 10 minutes.

00:50:17.000 Pretty bleak.

00:50:18.000 Yeah.

00:50:18.000 Everyone's like, oh man, he just wanted to hang out.

00:50:20.000 Better than being alone, I guess.

00:50:22.000 Well, I mean I think even younger people are getting one-shotted with gambling now because the sports betting is a good thing.

00:50:26.000 Yeah, that's a good point.

00:50:26.000 I was thinking of kind of the traditional, like you go, you sit down, you do slots, you do poker, whatever.

00:50:31.000 But yeah, sports gambling is it's huge.

00:50:34.000 Come on, bro.

00:50:35.000 You're Gen Z, right? 0.93

00:50:36.000 $20 in the right par light, and you're a millionaire.

00:50:39.000 Like a 30 leg part. 0.88

00:50:41.000 Like, all right, so you could have sneeze in the third quarter and this hits guys, just trust me.

00:50:45.000 I actually have a friend who's a millionaire from playing on one of those big sites, but he sits in front of spreadsheets for like 12 hours a day.

00:50:51.000 So I bet he's doing arbitrage though.

00:50:53.000 Are you familiar with sports betting arbitrage?

00:50:55.000 Uh no, he can no.

00:50:57.000 So that so the basic idea is uh I'm gonna butcher this, but I don't know too much about it.

00:51:01.000 But if sports betting website A has like a uh uh the odds are you know, plus one or it's like minus 100 plus 100 or whatever, and then the other site, it's slightly inverted.

00:51:13.000 If the numbers are right between two different sites, you are guaranteed to win.

00:51:19.000 So if you if you're like if I put a dollar here and a dollar here, and my my input is two dollars, but based on the odds, I'll win either three dollars or two dollars, I can't lose.

00:51:30.000 And then if yeah, so so people sit in front of sports betting websites and waiting to find these, and then they make bets.

00:51:37.000 And the thing is, these are different companies, so they don't know what you're doing on other websites and what your what your bets are, yeah.

00:51:43.000 And you just get free money.

00:51:45.000 Yep.

00:51:45.000 It's like totally ruining sports though, because it's like all the athletes know, like they all know, they're all like winking at each other and everything.

00:51:51.000 I mean, you can see some compliments, I won't say the specific players, but you can see compilations of players that like definitely knew they needed to like score in additional basket, and they would just put up a shot at the end of the game for no reason because they didn't just happen.

00:52:02.000 Like some some college guys were betting on themselves.

00:52:04.000 Uh it was it was an M there was two NBA players that got like like busted by the feds, I think, over like it was a big deal.

00:52:09.000 Um it seems like such a dumb thing to do.

00:52:12.000 Like, how do you not know you're gonna get caught doing?

00:52:14.000 I know, yeah, and they make it so obvious.

00:52:16.000 It's like they're up by 30 at the end of the game and he just throws like a half court shot.

00:52:20.000 Yeah.

00:52:21.000 So and it's and it's also like ruining the viewership experience because they're throwing numbers every it's like I'm doing calculus when I'm trying to just watch like bowling.

00:52:27.000 Hey, you're glued to your phone when you should be watching.

00:52:29.000 I say that as a non-sports fan, but yeah, I could I could see that.

00:52:32.000 Maybe we need uh some kind of authoritarian fascistic regime to come in and tell everyone to stop gambling.

00:52:38.000 I'm joking by the way, but like I'm thinking about these casinos where people with excess cash have nothing to do with it, so they just sit there going like at the slot machine.

00:52:48.000 Yeah, it's bleak when you watch other people play slots like by themselves.

00:52:51.000 Like poker, yeah, you you know, you could you could have a good time playing poker.

00:52:54.000 You play really good.

00:52:56.000 Yeah, and it's like a do it's a dopamine thing too, because a lot of this stuff's digital, so it's kind of like being glued to your iPhone, but instead you're just like losing money and touching.

00:53:05.000 Yeah.

00:53:06.000 People want to see miracles.

00:53:08.000 That that is that is the casino.

00:53:10.000 It that's it.

00:53:11.000 And um when you, you know, so I I'm I'm uh I'm a big poker player, not gonna pretend to be super good or anything, especially because I'm doing this poker game coming up, and I'm just gonna pretend like I'm really bad because I don't want to get embarrassed.

00:53:21.000 I probably am really bad.

00:53:22.000 I'll just leave it at that.

00:53:23.000 Uh no, I'm probably okay, I guess.

00:53:25.000 But the videos that go viral in poker are when someone should win but loses.

00:53:31.000 And I'm and I was sitting there watching, like every video you see, it's like some guys are really good hand, the other guys have bad hand, and then they both are like, I'm all in, and they shove their money in, and then at the very last card, the river, the guy with the crappy hand turns around and wins, and everyone's screaming and cheering, and I'm like, I hate that.

00:53:46.000 Every player hates that.

00:53:47.000 Yeah, you know, when you when when you get in and you're behind, you're just hoping the miracle happens and dumb luck saves you, but it's like you're in trouble.

00:53:56.000 But people love watching the the the rarities occur.

00:53:59.000 And I think the reason they like slot machines, they don't make money doing it.

00:54:02.000 You can't.

00:54:02.000 Sure.

00:54:03.000 It's because they're they they want to see that rare moment to happen.

00:54:06.000 There's a guy in in uh in Las Vegas who literally just does that with a line of people that are out the door, uh, and they all come and give him money to gamble, and he just keeps running the slot and with a video on his phone for when the one person makes that content so he can post the content the person in the video.

00:54:19.000 It's crazy.

00:54:20.000 What's the wildest thing I've ever seen?

00:54:21.000 Yeah.

00:54:22.000 I don't I don't remember his name, but it's a real thing.

00:54:23.000 Because they want they want to be like, hey, I delivered that miracle that made that memory.

00:54:27.000 Literally, exactly what it is.

00:54:28.000 That's crazy.

00:54:28.000 It's like the chance of hitting the unicow in Planet Moolah is like one in one million, and people want to see the unicow.

00:54:35.000 That's a real thing.

00:54:36.000 I'm not making that up.

00:54:37.000 I said, sure, I have no idea what that is a reference to.

00:54:39.000 There's a there's a there's a game in casinos called Planet Moolah.

00:54:42.000 Okay, where the aliens are cows. 1.00

00:54:44.000 Okay, and when you hit the button, the symbols all fall down, and there's an extremely rare chance.

00:54:49.000 I don't know the actual number, it's not one million, that a unicow appears.

00:54:52.000 It's a cow with a unicorn horn, and it like the game goes nuts, and you win a ton of money.

00:54:56.000 That sounds kind of sick.

00:54:57.000 Yeah, I don't want to see that.

00:54:59.000 I don't know if I I don't know if I would pay, you know, pay like hundreds of dollars for hours to see it.

00:55:02.000 You go on YouTube and you can watch the video of someone else doing it.

00:55:06.000 I can see the unit and it's got a million views.

00:55:07.000 Okay.

00:55:08.000 And they and what's crazy is you've got gambling influencers now who don't care if they lose gambling because they're gonna get half a million views on the video.

00:55:15.000 Oh, yeah, and sell sponsorships.

00:55:17.000 Yeah, definitely.

00:55:18.000 Wild.

00:55:19.000 We we are a dying civilization.

00:55:21.000 I'm sorry.

00:55:22.000 I that's why I'm like Elon Save Us, because he's building rockets to go to Mars, and it's just like, is that the only thing that's actually being done towards advancement of human civilization?

00:55:32.000 It does feel like we're swirling the drain when you go to like any town, and the only businesses that are new are like weed shops and like vape stores and everything.

00:55:39.000 It's just like and everything, and there's sports gambling, everyone.

00:55:42.000 Sorry, sounds like scrooge, but it's like oh there's an aspect to decline that like you can't really quantify.

00:55:47.000 That it's almost like an aesthetic phenomenon.

00:55:49.000 You just kind of see it and you're like, it's just doesn't feel good.

00:55:52.000 Yeah, there are dollar generals there, bro.

00:55:54.000 Come on.

00:55:54.000 There's a brand new dollar general.

00:55:55.000 Like, I, you know, I've been known to frequent a dollar general here and there.

00:55:58.000 So I won't get on to that.

00:55:59.000 You see Dollar Trees around there, there's nothing wrong with the dollar.

00:56:02.000 But it's like just the everything.

00:56:04.000 It's a new story and worse.

00:56:06.000 And I just like I went to one in El Salvador.

00:56:08.000 They've been on the dollar since the uh early 2000s, so they got Dollar General down there.

00:56:12.000 Nice.

00:56:12.000 Nope.

00:56:12.000 That's cool.

00:56:13.000 Let's go.

00:56:13.000 The dollar stores are no longer dollar a dollar anymore.

00:56:16.000 Oh, yeah, I went in there.

00:56:16.000 That's like five bucks now.

00:56:18.000 Like, what's the point?

00:56:19.000 Yeah, they're $1.50.

00:56:22.000 I know it's over.

00:56:22.000 It's actually over when that happens.

00:56:24.000 So I can't actually search on Google for these.

00:56:26.000 But uh, have you driven down the road and counted how many hot spots there are?

00:56:32.000 You know what a hotspot is?

00:56:34.000 So they're there are bars with slot machines, and the windows are blacked out because you're not legally allowed to pe like you cannot be slot machines and alcohol can't be visible from the street.

00:56:44.000 So all of these there's there's their buildings over here.

00:56:48.000 It's it's crazy, dude.

00:56:49.000 They look like abandoned buildings with no windows, and then you'll just see a door with an open sign, and you're like, there's no name.

00:56:56.000 The business has no name, there's no real parking lot, and there'll be like two or three cars, and you'll watch a guy walk up and like press a button, it'll open, it'll go in and you'll be like, what is this?

00:57:04.000 You'll go there, it is a dark room with a bar and a wall of slot machines, and old people just tapping away.

00:57:13.000 That's there's probably within 10 minutes of here, 10 of them.

00:57:17.000 Wow.

00:57:17.000 You you you drive down the road out here, and you will drive past like 15.

00:57:22.000 And it's like, and and so it's it's nuts.

00:57:25.000 Some of them are houses.

00:57:26.000 I guess slaying the dragon in World of Warcraft just doesn't have the same dopamine as uh I mean if you're 60, you don't know how to do that.

00:57:34.000 That's one of those things where if you showed someone from the 1950s that they would be like, that's the dystopian future.

00:57:38.000 Like we're all sitting around like trying to like hypothesise what that would look like.

00:57:42.000 It would be that they'd be like, oh yeah, that's it.

00:57:43.000 That's horrifying over.

00:57:45.000 It's the only difference is they're not in like uh they're not in the pod.

00:57:49.000 Well, they're not gonna be a good thing.

00:57:52.000 It doesn't even seem like it doesn't even seem like a fun form of degeneracy to you.

00:57:56.000 It's like you know, you think about people uh, you know, back in the 50s or any time period, just like getting rowdy in a bar or something.

00:58:02.000 It's like all right.

00:58:03.000 Like you're with other people, you're having a good time, you're laughing, you're talking, but yeah, just sitting in front of a slot machine and drinking is it's bleak, yeah.

00:58:10.000 Imagine, imagine like back in the day, the old degenerate bar where there's like a stripper, some guys in suits, loud music, there's like a jazz band playing while like a woman shaking her ass, and then the dudes are playing high stakes, five-card draw, and then one guy's like, you're cheating, he slams a gun on the table, and everyone's losing their mind.

00:58:26.000 Now you walk in and it's just slot machines.

00:58:29.000 Here's the Best part.

00:58:30.000 Some of these places, there's a stage that used to be where the stripper would be, and it's just people sitting at slot machines.

00:58:36.000 Yeah.

00:58:36.000 And you're and it's funny because some of these clubs, it's it'll say like the name of the company, I don't I don't want to call any specific place out, but it'll be like John's, and then it'll say it'll the signal like this, and it'll be like blank club, because you know they slapped a big white piece of plastic over the word gentleman.

00:58:53.000 They ain't even going to strip clubs anymore. 0.98

00:58:56.000 They're just slot machines.

00:58:58.000 And what's crazy is I'm talking about West Virginia.

00:59:01.000 I went home to Chicago for the holidays.

00:59:04.000 They're everywhere.

00:59:05.000 Wow.

00:59:05.000 Every bar's got slot machines.

00:59:06.000 I'm like, dude, and and the argument they made is you know what?

00:59:10.000 I'm gonna tell you guys, you open the door, you let the demons in.

00:59:12.000 The argument was it's just video lottery.

00:59:16.000 They were they basically argued that this isn't gambling in the in the casino sense.

00:59:21.000 We sell scratchers.

00:59:23.000 This is the exact same thing, but it's digital.

00:59:27.000 So now slot machines are just lottery locations.

00:59:31.000 You know, I think part of part of the reason why people don't go to the uh strip clubs anymore, it's probably got something to do with the fact that 75% of America is overweight.

00:59:44.000 Well, like what is the I've never been?

00:59:46.000 Some correlation.

00:59:46.000 I think it's because Gen Z. There's two reasons.

00:59:49.000 Gen Z guys Well, Gen Z guys are going to church. 1.00

00:59:52.000 Yeah.

00:59:52.000 You're not gonna go to a strip club.

00:59:53.000 True.

00:59:54.000 And then Gen Z girls are fat. 1.00

00:59:56.000 And nobody wants to see that.

00:59:57.000 That's right.

00:59:58.000 Right.

00:59:59.000 And feminism tells them that, hey, look, just you know, go ahead and be your best self with to be fair. 1.00

01:00:06.000 Porn is free, so yeah.

01:00:08.000 Right.

01:00:08.000 People are just staying inside.

01:00:09.000 I think most forms of socialization have declined.

01:00:12.000 Yeah, they're like younger people are drinking less too.

01:00:14.000 And yeah, maybe uh some fragment uh fra faction of them have are you know being a little more traditional, but I think a lot of them are just like sitting at home and just like on the computer.

01:00:24.000 I might go to that go if I go to the strip club, I might have to look the stripper in the eye. 1.00

01:00:27.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:00:28.000 Exactly.

01:00:28.000 It's uh yeah, I'm a bit of a traditional anxiety kind of guy.

01:00:31.000 I go to strip clubs, I drink, I do drugs.

01:00:33.000 It's like these are all very old schools.

01:00:36.000 I wouldn't advocate for any of that, but that is clearly better than some of like the new forms of degeneracy where you just like I mean if you want to talk about the shooter and like the the you know video games here and stuff, it's like okay, maybe you should be at a strip club, dude.

01:00:49.000 I wouldn't tell that to anyone else.

01:00:50.000 Look, uh listen, uh all of my uh earmuffs were all of my religious friends.

01:00:54.000 I would rather hang out with dudes that go to strip clubs than dudes that think they're chicks. 1.00

01:00:58.000 Yeah, so true.

01:01:00.000 I think every I think most religious people would uh would say neither is ideal, but they would agree with the colour.

01:01:05.000 All right, let's have a point.

01:01:07.000 Let's bring it back to the political world.

01:01:08.000 We got this from the post-millennial.

01:01:09.000 AOC considers 2028 presidential run, please.

01:01:14.000 I mean, look, she I know there are a lot of people that give me hell about this, but she is a compelling politician. 0.99

01:01:24.000 I would never vote for her, I don't support any of her ideas.

01:01:26.000 She can't win.

01:01:28.000 I mean, maybe she won't, but I don't know that she wouldn't get a lot of support.

01:01:32.000 Let me let me clarify.

01:01:33.000 She can win, but that's like also saying I can win the lottery.

01:01:38.000 Uh and I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you why.

01:01:40.000 She is a woman.

01:01:42.000 No, I'm I'm gonna push back on that.

01:01:44.000 It all depends on the economy.

01:01:47.000 And I truly believe this.

01:01:49.000 If the economy is in the tank when the next presidential election comes, the Republicans are in a world of hurt.

01:01:58.000 I don't think so.

01:01:58.000 I do.

01:01:59.000 I think we are in a totally different world.

01:02:02.000 I think, especially with the assassination of Charlie Kirk, this is thing something changed in that moment where these these liberals that are desperately trying to to frame him, basically.

01:02:16.000 It's crazy.

01:02:16.000 Like I've had conversations with some people who I would consider to be not psychotic liberals but still liberals, and I have to explain to them Charlie never said black people don't have brain processing power.

01:02:24.000 That's made up.

01:02:25.000 I want you to be right.

01:02:26.000 Like I want to think that that there has been a change, that there are going to be fewer and fewer Democrats because of the malicious string streak running.

01:02:37.000 That's not what I'm saying.

01:02:38.000 What?

01:02:38.000 I'm saying that we're at the point where they're shooting and killing people, and the economy won't be as big as an issue as the IED that blew up in your marketplace.

01:02:46.000 As as big as what?

01:02:48.000 The economy is not going to be the most pressing issue when an IED blows up in your marketplace.

01:02:52.000 Well, okay, so fair enough.

01:02:54.000 Then that would be that's that's a uh significantly different context.

01:02:59.000 If there's actually in a in a normal functioning America with political dispute, the economy it's the economy stupid.

01:03:05.000 Yes.

01:03:06.000 But when we're in the wit uh who who was it who said this when uh was it it might have been Milo, I don't know.

01:03:12.000 When you when your nation tolerates assassinations, you're on the verge of collapse or something like something like that, or a nation that toler a nation that can tolerate political assassinations will not stand.

01:03:21.000 And AOC just issued a letter.

01:03:24.000 She sent out a letter to her supporters demonizing Charlie Kirk.

01:03:28.000 She did it from the floor of the Congress today.

01:03:29.000 It was awful.

01:03:30.000 Disgusting.

01:03:31.000 And so when you're in a country where Charlie Kirk is I'll put it like this.

01:03:36.000 When Democrats are intentionally making up fake quotes that Charlie Kirk never said because they want him to be evil.

01:03:45.000 They are saying, we don't care what you actually believe.

01:03:48.000 We want you to die.

01:03:49.000 So I I will stress this.

01:03:50.000 There is a video of Charlie Kirk that's going viral right now where he throws out a white identitarian from his event.

01:03:57.000 He screams at him, get out of line, get out.

01:04:00.000 You are not welcome here.

01:04:01.000 And they're claiming he was a white supremacist.

01:04:04.000 When he literally argued against these people and threw them out of his events.

01:04:08.000 A nation that has a political faction that says we don't care what you actually believe, we will tell you what we want to convey.

01:04:17.000 Who like we will tell you what we say you believe.

01:04:22.000 So where do you go?

01:04:25.000 You could literally come out and be like, no, I agree with him.

01:04:27.000 They're like, we don't care what you say.

01:04:28.000 We're gonna lie about what you said, and now you're dead.

01:04:31.000 Because that's what they're doing to Charlie.

01:04:32.000 And so I feel like that there's there's I'll put it like this.

01:04:36.000 When Charlie Kirk is the guy who actually says you are not welcome in our movement to white supremacists and racists, and then they come out and say, actually he was exactly what he condemned.

01:04:47.000 Okay, if they want to kill you, they'll make up whatever reason they want.

01:04:50.000 Yeah, precisely.

01:04:51.000 Yeah.

01:04:52.000 And what does that mean for an election?

01:04:54.000 So I I I think certainly at the pace Trump is already at with 48 uh confirmations.

01:05:01.000 His appointees getting confirmed in one swoop, which is crazy.

01:05:06.000 I'm like, at this pace, with the terminations, the people losing their jobs, Trump ramming this thing through, announcing the Antifa uh terror stuff.

01:05:15.000 I'm like, what, next week we're gonna start getting arrest of Democrats?

01:05:18.000 I mean, the pace is absolutely insane.

01:05:21.000 I think that the temperature is extremely hot.

01:05:24.000 We've already got these ice protests.

01:05:26.000 They are now justifying everything they've said about why people should die because by making up fake quotes about Charlie Kirk.

01:05:33.000 They're claiming Trump is literally Hitler.

01:05:36.000 They're it is insane the lies they're posting about Jimmy Kimmel.

01:05:39.000 There's no off ramp.

01:05:40.000 And so I'm I'm I fear in the next year, attacks are going to increase.

01:05:45.000 The economy is not going to be the issue for most people.

01:05:48.000 Now I can only say this.

01:05:50.000 I am not your average person.

01:05:52.000 And so, you know, maybe, maybe the death threats get to me.

01:05:56.000 I don't know, maybe maybe.

01:05:57.000 But I have a security team, and the assessment we've made going through what what they're telling me, looking at the current available information is right now, the threat could not be higher.

01:06:09.000 The risk of terror and political violence could not be higher.

01:06:14.000 It is the pot has boiled over.

01:06:16.000 And so the advice to us is stop and wait.

01:06:20.000 These public events don't do it.

01:06:22.000 These these, you know, public events like that.

01:06:24.000 I'm hosting and also being a part of, just don't do it.

01:06:27.000 Don't go out, and we've got to have like three people with us when we go out.

01:06:32.000 That's from what we are seeing online.

01:06:34.000 They're not just saying, we heard in the news this happened, so we're gonna advise this.

01:06:37.000 They're saying we've been reading social media, we've been looking at the chats of these groups, we've been uh doing security and intel analyses on antifa and these far left groups, and they're like, yeah, someone's gonna make an attack soon.

01:06:49.000 And I'm sure Trump knows this.

01:06:51.000 And I think there's a reason why he put up that tweet about Antifa or that truth social post.

01:06:56.000 I don't think it was just arbitrary one day, it's like I'm bored, I'm gonna, I'm gonna make a news cycle.

01:07:00.000 I think they were like, we have to make a move now, especially after the Charlie Kirk thing.

01:07:04.000 Yeah.

01:07:04.000 Definitely.

01:07:05.000 Well, I think we're seeing something play out now that's similar to what happened in kind of the late 60s and the early 70s, where when, you know, liberals got some victories, they got the civil rights act and so forth, but the far left radicals wanted something far more extreme.

01:07:18.000 They wanted like a communist revolution.

01:07:20.000 And when then when that didn't come, they started to, you know, eventually you got Nixon, they started to get very disheartened and you know, very desperate, basically.

01:07:29.000 So, You know, the Weathermen became the weather underground.

01:07:32.000 A lot of these groups went underground and they committed, they turned to terrorism.

01:07:35.000 And uh, you know, you had thousands of bombings.

01:07:37.000 You it was it was insane attacks on cops.

01:07:39.000 And I think I don't think won.

01:07:41.000 Pardon me?

01:07:42.000 And they won.

01:07:42.000 Yeah, in a sense, it kind of, yeah, some of these people ended up becoming college professors and you know, uh and mentoring presidents.

01:07:48.000 Yeah, yeah, exactly.

01:07:50.000 So um, you know, they didn't get the full communist revolution, but they played a part in accelerating it, absolutely.

01:07:56.000 And I think what we're seeing now is the resistance to Trump that existed after he won the first time.

01:08:01.000 Uh it's kind of yeah, it kind of evaporated, right?

01:08:03.000 A lot of people, even liberals remarked that you know, the resistance after uh 2024 wasn't wasn't there.

01:08:09.000 You didn't have like you know, big companies and liberal groups, you know, really opposing it.

01:08:13.000 So what do you have now?

01:08:14.000 You have a lot of mentally ill people who have been told that you know anything other than like extreme gay race communism is uh is you know fascism, which is not the case. 0.84

01:08:24.000 Yep and therefore, like basically they think they're actually living under fascism.

01:08:28.000 So what you're gonna have now is less of like mass organized resistance and more kind of lone wolf terrorism, like we saw uh, you know, unfortunately, that claimed Charlie Kirk's life.

01:08:38.000 And so I absolutely think unfortunately there's gonna be more stuff like that.

01:08:41.000 It's not gonna be the black block in the streets, riots, you know, fighting with Trump supporters, it's gonna be, yeah, like lone wolf, small potentially terror cells taking taking people out.

01:08:50.000 I and I think there's the potential for it to escalate, but I I do think right now, based on the current set of factors before us, not counting for variables to that move uh as we move forward in the future, we are looking at a high probability of a right wing authoritarian form of government for the next decade plus.

01:09:08.000 Could theoretically theoretically be longer?

01:09:10.000 And there's a lot of there's a lot of factors that predict this.

01:09:13.000 One, for those that think we're tracking alongside Rome.

01:09:16.000 Some people have thought like maybe we're entering the American Empire period where you get an authoritarian state.

01:09:22.000 Um, there's a lot of similarities, but I think people cherry pick the Roman Empire and the Roman Republic to determine, you know, it's like a lot of these things happen hundreds of years apart from each other.

01:09:32.000 Sure.

01:09:32.000 And everyone's like, but look, this happened.

01:09:34.000 Then this like look what's happening in America, Rome, and look what happened then.

01:09:37.000 Rome.

01:09:37.000 And I'm like, yeah, those two things you're highlighting as things from Rome is Rome and like 100 AD and Rome and 500 is very far apart.

01:09:45.000 Um, but I think with the far left attack, with Donald Trump uh, I mean, winning a popular vote, people largely being on his side.

01:09:56.000 The messages that I'm seeing from normies based on Charlie Kirk and uh there are there are posts from people who were liberal a year ago that I follow, like people in various industries that I'm a fan of or follow, and and they're like cheering on Charlie Kirk.

01:10:11.000 It is wild.

01:10:12.000 It is I'll tell you this.

01:10:14.000 Pro skateboarders who've never uttered a political word posting online videos saying Charlie Kirk was a great man, and I'm like, I did not know that guy was even a Christian.

01:10:24.000 Yeah, but this really made them come forward.

01:10:26.000 The left is going to feel very, very desperate.

01:10:28.000 I think Trump is gonna do a hard crackdown on these NGOs and they will react violently.

01:10:33.000 Trump will then respond with security apparatus.

01:10:38.000 Yeah.

01:10:40.000 Go ahead.

01:10:40.000 Well, I mean, I I do I don't know that I agree that there's going to be a significant uh a significant like authoritarian push.

01:10:50.000 I do think that the left is going to behave as if it as if there is one.

01:10:54.000 And I think we're seeing it uh, you know, now that that necessitates an expansion of of the security state.

01:11:00.000 Do you think Trump has the has the stomach to do that?

01:11:02.000 Yep.

01:11:03.000 I'm not so sure.

01:11:04.000 He he he did he deployed the Marines into into California.

01:11:07.000 Yeah, he has a mandate.

01:11:08.000 He deployed the Marines in into California, but he deployed them only in support of the existing law enforcement.

01:11:15.000 So I'm not sure.

01:11:16.000 I'm not sure.

01:11:17.000 I don't I just don't know that I don't know that that's that that's what Trump wants to do.

01:11:23.000 And I'm not saying that a future president wouldn't or it wouldn't be necessary.

01:11:27.000 Um I just don't know if that's not I don't know if Donald Trump's the guy.

01:11:30.000 Well, there's massive expansions of DHS and ICE and it all comes down to what you consider right wing authoritarianism.

01:11:36.000 I think Trump is definitely, you know, even now more than before Charlie Kirk's murder, like definitely convinced that he needs to do more in terms of law enforcement, going after Antifa, just cracking down in general.

01:11:48.000 So for some that that will qualify as authoritarianism.

01:11:50.000 For others, it's just law and order.

01:11:51.000 Yeah, I mean, look, I'm I'm I'm on the record saying that I think that Antifa should be considered a terrorist organization.

01:11:57.000 Let's let's clarify this.

01:11:59.000 So I was asked earlier by some of the homies, what does that mean?

01:12:02.000 And I'm like, if Trump does enact sweeping security powers, none of us would notice.

01:12:08.000 You'll go to Chicago and there will be some National Guard on the very on the street, very street corners.

01:12:12.000 You'll have no no hassle, no problems, no trouble.

01:12:15.000 You will see less shootings, crime will be way better.

01:12:18.000 Your worst case scenario is you're walking down the street and they say, Hey, how's it going there, sir?

01:12:22.000 You show me your ID for a minute, and you'd be like, Oh, yeah, here you go.

01:12:24.000 And they'll be like, all right.

01:12:25.000 Where are you headed?

01:12:26.000 You'll be like, I'm going to uh Maxwell Street, get a get a Polish sauce.

01:12:28.000 Have a good day, sir.

01:12:29.000 That's the worst case scenario for the average person.

01:12:32.000 There is going to be concerns and infringement possibility.

01:12:36.000 The issue is is the government corrupt or not.

01:12:39.000 And the deployment of National Guard and military to stop acts of terror, far left violence or crime, does not mean your rights will be infringed upon as a normal working class person.

01:12:48.000 I still think it is particularly worrying if we get to that point.

01:12:52.000 And I have said, I think Trump should deploy the National Guard over the crime.

01:12:56.000 It is a very scary thing that we're at that point.

01:13:00.000 Well, I mean, yeah, the left only has themselves to blame for just permitting this open, I would say oppression of their citizens in the cities.

01:13:07.000 I mean, this has been 60 years now of complete inaction on crime.

01:13:11.000 So now that a administration has come in and they and the Americans who have been forced out into the suburbs are saying, Hey, it'd be really nice if I could go downtown and have dinner without getting shot at.

01:13:19.000 Trump has the mandate now to do this.

01:13:21.000 And so they only really have themselves to blame for not acting.

01:13:23.000 I gotta I gotta be honest, there's gonna be a lot of people who are gonna clap and cheer for it.

01:13:28.000 And for good reason.

01:13:29.000 I mean, like I I've talked about where I grew up, and I've asked my friends about it.

01:13:33.000 Which would you prefer?

01:13:34.000 The gangbangers running around shooting people and mugging people or National Guard, and they they just laugh.

01:13:39.000 Yeah.

01:13:39.000 And they're like, why would anyone care the National Guard was there?

01:13:42.000 Like literally no one would bet an eye.

01:13:43.000 Yeah.

01:13:43.000 They don't they don't we we've seen National Guard out in various instances, and you don't even talk to them.

01:13:48.000 Yeah.

01:13:49.000 Instead, do we have to deal with this crime?

01:13:50.000 So there's gonna be a lot of high crime areas where they're gonna be like, Thank you, Mr. President.

01:13:53.000 Sure.

01:13:54.000 Oh, that's I mean, that's what my hometown in Memphis is.

01:13:56.000 I mean, like eighty percent of 80% of the city is off limits, especially if you're like a white guy, you're cooked.

01:14:00.000 So it's like Oh, Trump's going in.

01:14:02.000 Yes, and he's finally going in, and it and it's and it's wonderful.

01:14:04.000 And I'm sitting here like, I don't think I think even people that are no people in jail aren't even gonna be disturbed by this.

01:14:09.000 Like, oh, I can go for a walk now and I won't get shot at this is fantastic.

01:14:12.000 It's wild that we got to this point.

01:14:13.000 Yeah, it's very similar to what happened in El Salvador.

01:14:15.000 I mean, the the steps that Buchele took to restore order um to the streets of uh you know San Salvador and obviously the rest of the country were uh pretty pretty, I don't want to say severe, but yeah, pretty harsh.

01:14:27.000 And yeah, people are high.

01:14:30.000 I was there for the first time uh kind of late August, and yeah, people were happy though.

01:14:34.000 Not there are some people down there that have concerns about you know, dictator, some Uber drivers saying that, but the average person is like, even if they have concerns, is like it is undeniably better.

01:14:44.000 Like you could just couldn't walk down the street before.

01:14:46.000 I met a guy in DC who said he was moving back.

01:14:49.000 He was from El Salvador.

01:14:50.000 There's a lot as a young man.

01:14:51.000 Yeah.

01:14:51.000 And uh Remigration.

01:14:53.000 Yeah, I was talking and and I was uh he I I forgot how it came up, but I asked him where he was from.

01:14:57.000 He was like, El Salvador. 0.66

01:14:58.000 And I was like, How is it down there?

01:14:59.000 I've been hearing good things.

01:15:00.000 And he goes, actually, I'm moving back.

01:15:01.000 He's like, My family, my parents want to go back too.

01:15:04.000 And then I was like, no way.

01:15:05.000 He's like, Oh, yeah, it's really nice now.

01:15:07.000 In fact, people are getting rich because the property are starting to skyrocket.

01:15:11.000 Yeah, a lot of foreigners want to move there.

01:15:13.000 Bitcoin beach, good luck.

01:15:16.000 So the these beach properties that were a couple hundred grand in you know, in US, yeah, are skyrocketing in value because it's safe, yeah, and you've got tech industry building up there.

01:15:26.000 I mean, Bukele has revolutionized that country. 1.00

01:15:28.000 It's absolutely yeah.

01:15:30.000 And it's a small country too, so you're talking about property prices.

01:15:32.000 So there's only so much of it.

01:15:34.000 And when I was down there, some you mentioned the people moving back, the uh Salvadoran immigrants, apparently there's there's some sort of problems with that where you know they're coming back and they've got a lot of money and they're uh you know, buying up property too, and it's it's uh kind of a chaotic situation, but it's like undeniably better than how it was before. 0.92

01:15:50.000 So it in an ideal situation, you don't have to adopt those harsh measures to have like a safe, prosperous society.

01:15:59.000 Right.

01:15:59.000 But once you get to the point where crime and disorder have have eaten away the social fabric so much, you know, it's really do you do you let your country die and be a hell whore?

01:16:08.000 Do you do you do whatever is necessary to get there?

01:16:12.000 Let's be real.

01:16:12.000 I mean, from the outside looking at El Salvador, it's fantastic.

01:16:16.000 Yeah.

01:16:17.000 Um, I have friends who have moved down there.

01:16:19.000 They say it's fantastic.

01:16:20.000 Would we not want that same kind of reform for the United States?

01:16:24.000 Now, but think about what that means.

01:16:26.000 It's extremely popular in El Salvador.

01:16:28.000 He went and rounded up all the gangs.

01:16:30.000 There's uh uh, you know, it there's there's stories of people, it's like get a gang tattoo, they just arrested you on the spot.

01:16:37.000 And you're going to jail.

01:16:38.000 We're we're done.

01:16:39.000 So I mean, do we want to live that way?

01:16:41.000 I I I think there's concerns and challenges in what overreach could look like.

01:16:46.000 But if we went half the speed of El Salvador to ensure that we protected rights, yeah, but moved in that direction, it'd be a good thing. 0.98

01:16:52.000 Yeah, it's just stuff like having the you know proper sentencing, having attorneys and uh pardon me, DAs and judges that are willing to actually ensure that people serve the time that they're due.

01:17:03.000 I don't think it would take anything extreme in America.

01:17:06.000 There'd be a lot of opposition from the left, of course, but I do think the average American would like it.

01:17:10.000 I think I would push back on that because I think that the problem that you're outlining that the that you're you're pointing at the DAs and the judges, that's the biggest problem.

01:17:21.000 Yeah.

01:17:22.000 It's not whether or not we have laws sufficient to put people in jail for committing crimes.

01:17:27.000 We absolutely do.

01:17:28.000 It's that we have an infestation of leftists in the judicial departments of these of different states and cities and stuff.

01:17:38.000 So how do you get people that want to have soft on crime policies that believe in things like crazy bullshit like restorative justice?

01:17:48.000 How do you get them out of those positions when a lot of times uh would DAs have to be you know elected, yes.

01:17:56.000 But there are foreign uh entities that are dumping tons of money into these DA races, and then you got judges who generally are appointed for life, frequently, not all the time, there's somewhere there there are elections and stuff, but judges that are appointed for life that have these you know soft on crime policies,

01:18:13.000 these restorative justice policies where they're just like, well, you know, if you are of a certain persuasion, if you're a if you're not a white person, we're gonna go ahead and allow you to have a a light sentence, a short sentence, let you go ahead and go free on your own recognizance, just prompts you'll come back, or blah, blah, blah, which always ends with terrible results.

01:18:33.000 Not every individual, of course, but enough where it's generally it's it's generally, and it's enough where you can say these policies produce more crime and they are a danger to the population.

01:18:45.000 And you can see it on the subway in North Carolina, the that poor girl that got stabbed.

01:18:48.000 That guy should have been in jail, but they just kept letting him out and letting him out.

01:18:51.000 You know, and it turns into dead people.

01:18:53.000 Isn't that funny that Democrats are like we need gun control laws? 0.99

01:18:56.000 And then when they arrest a guy with a legal gun, they say you're free to go.

01:18:59.000 Insane.

01:19:00.000 Yeah.

01:19:00.000 Well, I mean, I I was like, there's all these laws, and I'm in total total agreement, like our justice system, the the people carrying out justice, there's soros upon a DAs, et cetera, et cetera.

01:19:09.000 Like we're all on the same page.

01:19:10.000 But it's like, yeah, when you see that situation in Charlotte with Arena, it's like I mean, no matter what laws you have passed, it's not going to stop that from happening.

01:19:18.000 Breaking news, I guess.

01:19:19.000 This is from NBC News, shots fired at ABC affiliate in Sacramento.

01:19:24.000 Yo, let's uh where's the audio at?

01:19:28.000 Let's go.

01:19:29.000 Sacramento police there say the ABC building has been hit by gunfire.

01:19:34.000 Nobody injured, but there you can see bullet holes in the glass, uh just coming in the last few minutes.

01:19:39.000 We can also tell you that in fact it looks this is coming just after the Jimmy Kemmel decision to repeat.

01:19:45.000 And I realized people like Jimmy Kimmel that would suspend him from this show.

01:19:49.000 Let's go out to our uh NBC.

01:19:51.000 Andrew Blankstein.

01:19:52.000 To be fair, the last few people, the holdouts must really love him.

01:19:55.000 One of our investigative producers who's joining us now on the phone.

01:19:58.000 Andrew, nobody knows this better than you.

01:20:00.000 What's happening in that area?

01:20:02.000 Good afternoon, Tom.

01:20:03.000 Well, at this point, just after 130 today, officers respond to reports of shots fired in the 400 block of Broadway in Sacramento where the ABC affiliate is located.

01:20:15.000 Uh they observed the building had been hit by gunfire, uh, no injuries.

01:20:20.000 And at this point, at least this is very preliminary at this point.

01:20:25.000 They can't say for sure whether this was targeted or random.

01:20:29.000 But given the timing that you just referred to, that's going to be part of the investigation.

01:20:34.000 Um as far as any additional resources or agencies not responding at the moment, but if there's changes and changes in that, look to see if if that broadens this investigation, and again, if it would be in any way related uh to Jimmy Kimmel.

01:20:51.000 And you could imagine uh the motivations, if it is related to Jimmy Kimmel, it could be directed at ABC for at least suspending the show, or it could be directed at ABC and Kimmel because of what Kimmel said.

01:21:04.000 Well, and I doubt that's right.

01:21:06.000 It could be at this point it's so pretty.

01:21:12.000 Um obviously they're gonna be candid and looking for any cameras.

01:21:16.000 If there's a mega bastion.

01:21:17.000 In the in and around that location, but also the city to try to track down, get a license plate or a witness.

01:21:24.000 And at this point, this is the thing.

01:21:27.000 What the timing is is pretty glaring, but when I asked them directly if they thought it was related, they said it's just too early to say anything about that.

01:21:37.000 It's gonna be part of their investigation.

01:21:39.000 I'm gonna say I do not see a reality where an ABC affiliate, the affiliates were responsible for Kimmel getting pulled off the air, got shot at right after Kimmel got pulled off the air, and they're like, coincidence.

01:21:52.000 I mean, it's possible, I guess, but come on.

01:21:55.000 What reasonable person is gonna draw that conclusion?

01:21:57.000 So I will say this.

01:21:59.000 As I often say, the truth does not matter to partisans.

01:22:03.000 People who see this are going to interpret it how they want.

01:22:07.000 And I assure you, liberals are gonna go, they're shooting at us now.

01:22:12.000 They're gonna say, ABC, that's that's where Kimmel worked.

01:22:15.000 And and and it's and it's Trump supporters shooting at at ABC.

01:22:20.000 And uh that makes no sense to be honest.

01:22:22.000 I saw another right is gonna say this is somebody angry at ABC for pulling Kimmel.

01:22:26.000 Because they're saying Trump's a fascist.

01:22:28.000 And it may it maybe it's nothing.

01:22:31.000 Maybe maybe it was a guy who uh thought ABC was the liquor store, but he didn't realize he was not in Virginia.

01:22:38.000 I don't know.

01:22:38.000 Yeah, I mean, look, uh I'm gonna you know, preface this by saying, thankfully, it seems like there were no injuries.

01:22:45.000 No one was shot.

01:22:47.000 Um, but I I tend to think that it's unlikely that it was a Trump supporter.

01:22:53.000 Sure.

01:22:54.000 The there's not really a whole lot of uh reason for a Trump supporter to be like, oh, I'm just gonna randomly shoot at this ABC station, especially when ostensibly the conservatives are you know pressing the advantage.

01:23:07.000 You know, conservatives and people, they're they're conservatives and people that would be Trump considered Trump supporters, they're in a position where you can kind of say, look, you know, things are generally we generally have have the the opinion of the American people on our side.

01:23:23.000 Trump's up ten points today from from Rasmussen.

01:23:26.000 It's true.

01:23:26.000 You know, huge bump.

01:23:28.000 The one question though, for those of us on X is how can we blame this on Israel?

01:23:35.000 Well, you just do it.

01:23:36.000 I feel like you're just gonna YOLO into it.

01:23:38.000 Just you know, it's Leroy Jenkins, it was the Jews. 1.00

01:23:42.000 You don't really have to think too hard about it.

01:23:43.000 You know, there are plenty of people who will who will totally endorse it, you know, right off the car.

01:23:48.000 And yeah, a lot of them live in Pakistan and Bangladesh.

01:23:51.000 But like that.

01:23:53.000 And they're just like, yeah.

01:23:53.000 Then let's try the other one, civil war.

01:23:58.000 Uh I mean, like I said, the I think I think I mean look, I'm a partisan, so I think it's the left, you know.

01:24:04.000 This is civil stri I I agree, though.

01:24:06.000 It makes no sense why the right would be like, yay, we won now go shoot at ABC.

01:24:09.000 That makes no sense.

01:24:10.000 And the left is angry saying, ABC, we're boycotting you, we're angry with you.

01:24:14.000 But uh either way, this is what civil strife looks like.

01:24:16.000 Yeah.

01:24:16.000 So this is like bleeding Kansas.

01:24:18.000 And and I'm gonna hold on, guys.

01:24:20.000 We don't know the motive here.

01:24:21.000 We don't know what happened.

01:24:22.000 For all we know, it could be uh a jilted lover, you know, and his wife was uh a PA or something, and he's like, You cheated on me, we have no idea.

01:24:29.000 But bleeding Kansas, civil strife looks like you turn on the news and you're getting crazy stories like this.

01:24:36.000 And so, man, we just had I mean, we just had an assassination, you know what I mean.

01:24:43.000 This is this uh again, we don't know what the motive is.

01:24:47.000 But I'm saying this is two days ago.

01:24:50.000 Just speculation.

01:24:51.000 Sitting with my security team, and they're like going over the intelligence, and they're saying, based on our assessment, here's what we're seeing on social media chatter, here's what the forums are saying, here's what the direct threats we're seeing to you.

01:25:00.000 They're like the likelihood of an attack, not just on you, but anywhere is very, very high.

01:25:04.000 Then the Kimmel thing happens, and shots fight an ABC affiliate.

01:25:08.000 Maybe unrelated, we're not sure.

01:25:10.000 We'll see.

01:25:12.000 Yeah.

01:25:12.000 Well, yeah, we're just getting a higher and higher proportion of the population does nothing to lose.

01:25:17.000 And I think that's a huge problem.

01:25:18.000 So you're gonna see more and more of this.

01:25:19.000 That's why I'm glad I have a cyber truck because it can uh it's it's it can withstand lower caliber uh caliber handgun rounds.

01:25:25.000 Yeah.

01:25:25.000 It's and it's also the the windows will uh withstand rocks and and such.

01:25:30.000 Oh, right, right, right, right, yes.

01:25:32.000 The uh the bulletproof windows, I think you could we didn't get those.

01:25:36.000 I mean, we did.

01:25:37.000 They are, don't try.

01:25:38.000 No, I shouldn't say that because they're my you ever see unbreakable.

01:25:41.000 Yeah.

01:25:42.000 Kid thinks the dad's invincible, so he's gonna shoot him, and he's like, I'm not invincible, and you know, but uh we I my understanding is the bulletproof windows can't roll down in the uh in the armored cyber truck or whatever.

01:25:54.000 Maybe I need to get one of those.

01:25:55.000 I mean, I get a regular cyber truck.

01:25:57.000 It's not a bad idea.

01:25:59.000 Yeah, Alex Jones has that APC thing.

01:26:02.000 You ever see that?

01:26:03.000 I haven't seen Jones.

01:26:04.000 Does he drive it around like the grocery store?

01:26:06.000 I don't know about that.

01:26:07.000 Yeah, that's pretty bad.

01:26:08.000 Um I got to I we we were gonna I I thought like I think when I was there this few years ago, we were gonna drive it around, but we ended up not like, but I we I we went inside it and he showed me around, and it's it's a monster truck.

01:26:17.000 He he's out you can find it, you can Google it and like watch the video.

01:26:20.000 Yeah, I think I I've seen him driving around in it like for activism or something.

01:26:23.000 I didn't know he's like, you know, going to the grocery store and we're gonna go.

01:26:26.000 I don't think that he lives in Texas, though, so if there's any place to drive that thing around, no one will bat it about your day, yeah, yeah.

01:26:31.000 Yeah.

01:26:32.000 Yeah.

01:26:33.000 I'll just go I'm just gonna go under it, you know, just speed up to go past it.

01:26:36.000 You know what I mean?

01:26:37.000 Yeah.

01:26:37.000 I just rely on the fact that my car's really fast.

01:26:39.000 Man, this is this is crazy.

01:26:41.000 I'm gonna see if I can find any any more.

01:26:45.000 And I'm I mean, I'm not one to talk smack about Jones.

01:26:47.000 I carry bul uh bulletproof vests in my car.

01:26:49.000 So oh, there is an update.

01:26:51.000 They said that a um a white guy in a black hood with a Kamala Harris hat yelled, This is Biden country.

01:26:59.000 Yeah, there's no there's no updates.

01:27:01.000 Dang.

01:27:02.000 Just uh that's crazy.

01:27:05.000 Yeah, I mean, like I said, it's it's it's this is kind of you know, par for the course nowadays, apparently.

01:27:12.000 This is I don't see how things are going to cool off when you've got you know congressional leaders or pe members of Congress on the floor of Congress talking about how the person that was just murders for murdered for sharing their opinions and for for engaging in pol polite political discourse,

01:27:32.000 and he was always polite with the people that came up, he was always incredibly friendly, and he would prevent people that were bystanders from heckling people when you've got a member of Congress talking about how racist he was, how horrible of a person he was, this is something that is ubiquitous on the left now.

01:27:49.000 I don't see how I mean I would love to see a an off ramp, but I still don't see one.

01:27:54.000 We're we're hearing now it may have been celebratory gunfire.

01:27:58.000 Uh huh.

01:27:58.000 The people of Sacramento were just celebrating when they opened fire and like thank goodness.

01:28:02.000 Jimmy Kimmel's off the air.

01:28:05.000 We don't have to watch him anymore.

01:28:07.000 Yeah, people are they're they're getting ragged on for this, but it is it is pretty scary.

01:28:13.000 I mean, I I I will say it, my friends.

01:28:15.000 We don't know exactly what the reason is.

01:28:19.000 There was a congressional staffer who was set on fire and said I didn't want to die, and said it was an accident.

01:28:24.000 And I was just like, okay, that seems weird.

01:28:28.000 How do you accidentally go outside and set yourself on fire?

01:28:31.000 I guess it could happen.

01:28:32.000 Like you're you're trying to burn trash illegally or something.

01:28:34.000 We don't know our way around cigarettes, these things happen.

01:28:36.000 And you like spilled gasoline on you.

01:28:37.000 Yeah, I guess.

01:28:38.000 Gasoline would put a cigarette out, I'm pretty sure.

01:28:40.000 I don't know.

01:28:40.000 Uh don't play with fire, uh, ladies and gentlemen.

01:28:42.000 So true.

01:28:43.000 But these stories, man, this is scary.

01:28:46.000 You'd restore order.

01:28:47.000 I I I tend to agree.

01:28:49.000 One more one more grain of sand in the Trump's gonna Trump's gonna be like, we can't live this way.

01:28:55.000 We can't.

01:28:56.000 You can't.

01:28:56.000 True.

01:28:57.000 I'm wondering, I think I think next week Trump might go ham.

01:29:00.000 He just needs to reuse some of the old tweets that he has.

01:29:02.000 He had some really good applications of this old tweets that you know would probably get him in a lot of trouble now.

01:29:08.000 But he knows, he knows, he knows what to do.

01:29:10.000 Some people are tweeting that it that it uh it was a leftist, but I don't see any.

01:29:14.000 I'm trying to f I'm I I it this was a couple hours ago, the story broke actually, so six thir six forty.

01:29:19.000 I'm uh I'm gonna try and see if I can find any more updates on this or if anybody knows.

01:29:24.000 Yeah, I mean, I I would like some kind of you know, some more information.

01:29:29.000 I I don't imagine that there's someone out there that was actually wearing a uh Biden Harris shirt and I was like, you know, I'm the one that did it.

01:29:36.000 But it is a situation where this kind of stuff is going to likely escalate, you know, this is or going to continue.

01:29:46.000 Um particularly with the the rhetoric that you're hearing from the left again.

01:29:52.000 Like they're the leaders of the Democrat Party pretty ubiquitously had the right initial response, But then the more progressive people within a day or two were pointing out, oh, but he was so terrible and he said all these horrible things,

01:30:08.000 and they're repeating lies, or they're repeating um selectively uh you know, selected uh selectively edited videos or you know, stuff out of context and stuff to for no other reason than to say it's actually okay.

01:30:23.000 You don't point out, you don't sit there and say, Oh, Charlie Kirk was a bad person and he had all these bad opinions, unless the point of saying that is to say, so it's actually kind of okay that he was murdered.

01:30:34.000 Yeah, it's a tacit endorsement.

01:30:36.000 Yeah, I mean, I've said it before on the show, is like they set up this Pencer movement a while ago where they're like, it's okay to punch a punch a Nazi or whatever, and everyone's like, okay, yeah, I mean I don't know, maybe. 0.64

01:30:45.000 And then they're like, Yeah, but you're also a Nazi.

01:30:48.000 Yep.

01:30:48.000 So now we have the justice.

01:30:49.000 So they've just they justified political violence a long time ago.

01:30:52.000 And then now the tactic has just been advancing the goalpost on what a not or moving the goalpost on what a Nazi is, and then now just being a conservative, a patriot is now beyond the pale for them, and they can justify so even though they're coming out with those lip service where they're giving this condemnation saying there's no place for political violence, they add a bunch of modifiers on there to ensure that they still have they still have a justification in case they do want to go after you.

01:31:15.000 They don't like they don't want to concede that line of like, you know, you're still a terrible person and deserve to die.

01:31:19.000 I just for whatever reason my PR lady said I have to condemn this.

01:31:22.000 I'm gonna condemn this.

01:31:23.000 Yeah, I agree with that.

01:31:23.000 And I think the smarter Democrats recognize that, especially when you're not in power, that your own side doing political violence gives the other side a pretext to crack down, which is exactly what's happening.

01:31:34.000 And it's why, you know, me and other smart right wingers have for like you know decades been saying that uh right-wing political violence is absolutely not the what the right way forward.

01:31:43.000 So uh okay, we got breaking news.

01:31:47.000 Newsmax report of a bomb threat at RFK Jr.'s Georgetown home.

01:31:51.000 This is uh breaking as of eight o'clock.

01:31:53.000 I mean, it's pretty wild because we do pre-production and and these it's it's hard to find all the stories.

01:31:58.000 And things start blowing up and you know, shots are fired, and canine units deployed, uh, the home and surrounding areas have been searched and cleared.

01:32:04.000 Officials say that as of now, no explosive devices have been found.

01:32:07.000 The scene remains active while the investigation continues.

01:32:11.000 Wow, this is RFK Jr.'s house.

01:32:14.000 Um, far be it for me to be like, hey, look, I this proves that I was right, but this is what I was saying civil war in the modern era would look like. 0.61

01:32:23.000 We are gonna see a bunch of stories like bomb threats, shootings, red alerts, false alarms.

01:32:29.000 Uh I would say this is this is definitely like a bleeding Kansas thing. 0.58

01:32:32.000 I don't I'm not saying we're in civil war, I'm saying this is definitely bleeding Kansas level violence.

01:32:38.000 The only thing is, as as uh we had a super chatter make the great point, they didn't have instant data transmission back in uh 1860s.

01:32:47.000 Yep.

01:32:47.000 So this stuff took months to progress.

01:32:50.000 I mean, if you were trying to get a surrender, you wouldn't know until the the postal carrier could deliver the letter and you'd actually get a response.

01:32:56.000 Now it's all in real time.

01:32:58.000 And people can react to the shooting at ABC in real time with with acts of craziness on the other side of the country.

01:33:04.000 So this is this is nuts.

01:33:07.000 Holy crap, man.

01:33:08.000 Yeah, bomb threats, uh you know, shooting at television stations, stuff that would have been front assassination.

01:33:15.000 I mean, look, we are what it's been one, it's not even it's been a week.

01:33:18.000 Yeah, right.

01:33:18.000 And we've got congressional staffer dies being set on fire somehow.

01:33:22.000 They say it's no foul play.

01:33:23.000 I want to make sure that's clear.

01:33:24.000 Bomb threat at RFK Jr.'s house, shooting at an ABC station.

01:33:28.000 Yeah, and this stuff would have been front page news five years ago.

01:33:30.000 Now it's like, oh, okay, yeah, that's kind of the moment, Rand.

01:33:32.000 That's crazy.

01:33:32.000 Yeah.

01:33:33.000 Not only not to mention there's the lower tier stuff, all the people getting fired from their jobs for dancing on Charlie's grave, the celebration of the of the of the assassination.

01:33:41.000 This has been one insane escalatory week.

01:33:45.000 Yeah.

01:33:45.000 This is crazy.

01:33:47.000 It's uh well, liberals finally became free speech advocates.

01:33:52.000 It took it took quite a bit happening to get them to that point.

01:33:54.000 But um, you know, when it came to their right to when it came to our right to criticize various policies like Black Lives, Black Lives Matter riots and uh COVID stuff, you know, they they weren't supportive of our free speech then. 0.60

01:34:06.000 But when it came to people saying that you shouldn't cheer on and encourage more political assassinations of normal law-abiding citizens, then they became free speech, you know, absolutists, so to speak.

01:34:18.000 It's it's totally ridiculous.

01:34:19.000 Yeah, I mean, to call to to chime in and say, Oh, you don't like cancel culture now, you're a hypocrite when they were literally canceling people for using the wrong pronouns.

01:34:34.000 Right.

01:34:34.000 Just a couple of things.

01:34:35.000 Basic conservative beliefs.

01:34:36.000 We're not can't no one's getting canceled for being like a basic liberal.

01:34:39.000 Or they're getting canceled for literally saying that this no innocent guy deserved to have his like neck explode on something.

01:34:45.000 Who was who was the race car driver that got cancelled because his dad said the N-word?

01:34:50.000 Oh yeah.

01:34:51.000 I didn't hear about that one.

01:34:52.000 But yeah, I believe.

01:34:53.000 Yeah, they dug into the past so much that there was a dude's father who said the N-word in the 80s and they canceled him for it.

01:35:01.000 Mike Mike Stravitz has a great tweet.

01:35:02.000 He said, if we're not careful, all of our conservative and right wing friends are gonna lose their late night shows, their network news anchor positions, professorships and roles as Hollywood actors.

01:35:12.000 Their films might not get reviewed by the New York Times peril indeed.

01:35:17.000 Point well taken, Mike.

01:35:18.000 Yeah.

01:35:19.000 It's unreal.

01:35:20.000 It's unreal.

01:35:21.000 The idea that that you're uh the right is is a hypocrite.

01:35:25.000 And I saw a clip from Gavin McGuinness about this today.

01:35:28.000 Um, and he was like, Yeah, we are hypocrites.

01:35:32.000 Humans are hypocrites generally, but now we wanted to be the free speech people.

01:35:36.000 We wanted that, and you canceled everybody.

01:35:39.000 You fought you canceled us, blah, blah, blah.

01:35:41.000 And again, coming from McGinnis, that you know, that's pretty poignant because he got canceled for literally nothing.

01:35:46.000 Like he's done, he had done nothing.

01:35:48.000 He just said things that were a little outside of what were politically correct.

01:35:53.000 And he he you know got booted for from X for seven years or whatever.

01:35:56.000 And he was like, F you, this is war.

01:35:59.000 We're going to cancel you.

01:36:00.000 We're gonna do everything we can to hurt you.

01:36:03.000 We are hypocrites, we're comfortable with that.

01:36:05.000 You made it this way.

01:36:07.000 Welcome to what you created.

01:36:08.000 Yeah, well, Mike Tyson, he said, everyone's got a plan, so they get punched in the teeth.

01:36:11.000 It's the same thing.

01:36:12.000 It's like, look, every conservative's principled until you start shooting at us.

01:36:15.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:36:16.000 Sorry.

01:36:16.000 Sorry about it.

01:36:17.000 And if you wanted principle, like you could have just said, you know what, we'll just pull down, pull back on the on the canceling.

01:36:25.000 We'll we'll try to get, we'll try to have have cooler heads prevail.

01:36:28.000 All of our leaders will actually police our our, you know, our our members, our our the members of the Democrat Party, the the left.

01:36:37.000 And that would have filtered through to most of the the Democrats.

01:36:42.000 But they didn't do that.

01:36:43.000 They engaged in the heated rhetoric, just in fact, they they engade in engaged in far more heated rhetoric than anyone on the right did.

01:36:53.000 They the left has moved so far to the left that the right saying the most anodyne and mundane conservative values, they called hate speech.

01:37:02.000 So they changed the essentially they changed the rules.

01:37:06.000 And then when the conservatives said, Well, we're not gonna change our rules, these these are things that we actually believe in.

01:37:12.000 Right.

01:37:12.000 They said, Well, then that justifies us hating you.

01:37:15.000 That justifies us ending your careers, that justifies us doing whatever we want to harm your family, that justifies us up to and including murdering you.

01:37:25.000 And then they're like, but what about free speech?

01:37:28.000 F you.

01:37:30.000 Unreal.

01:37:30.000 Real.

01:37:32.000 But I mean, I don't know.

01:37:33.000 Also, the government, yeah, yeah.

01:37:34.000 Trump's not legally preventing people from cheering on Charlie Kirk's death.

01:37:38.000 Maybe he's got that in in the cards, so uh I'll have to walk this back a bit.

01:37:41.000 But yeah, no, it's literally I I do think that the a lot of normal people view like cheering on a gruesome assassination is like a pretty crazy thing.

01:37:52.000 Um, and if it were if if like every liberal thought that was okay to do, these people wouldn't be getting canceled for, you know, because for all of the ground that the right has gained in recent years, most institutions are still like, especially like in cities and stuff, are still like pretty left wing.

01:38:07.000 Um, but yeah, these people, it really took them cheering on you know the murder of an innocent person in order for them to start suffering social consequences for their views.

01:38:17.000 Whereas for, you know, I always think back to the police officer who, you know, the the give send go or the go fund me for Kyle Rittenhouse's legal defense got hacked and all of the names released.

01:38:27.000 This guy lost his job for donating like 20 bucks.

01:38:30.000 Yeah, yep.

01:38:31.000 So yeah, the bar is has been extremely low for getting canceled as a conservative.

01:38:36.000 And uh now the other side is crying about cancel culture because uh, you know, they're just extreme like pro-assassination freaks at this point.

01:38:44.000 Literally, literally it's like that's literally what they're it's happening.

01:38:48.000 What are the words of that one song?

01:38:49.000 It's times like these that I'm glad I live in a large acre property with a security perimeter and armed guards.

01:38:56.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:38:58.000 Yeah.

01:38:59.000 Or thousands, maybe food fighters.

01:39:01.000 It's times like these.

01:39:03.000 I'm glad I live on a property with armed guards and security perimeters.

01:39:07.000 That's how it goes.

01:39:09.000 No, as uh uh we had a guest on the show Monday, Slow Jack, and he was like, Yeah, like celebrating a death at a McDonald's would have gotten you fired from McDonald's.

01:39:18.000 Like it's just because this has become a wedge issue that they're calling it cancel culture.

01:39:21.000 He's like, that's always been the case.

01:39:22.000 You always get fired from your job for like celebrating someone getting shot.

01:39:25.000 And more importantly, things like that should happen.

01:39:28.000 Cancel culture was always when people were fired for things that were not objectionable.

01:39:32.000 Right.

01:39:32.000 They they something they did 10 years ago, something their dad did, or an off-color joke.

01:39:37.000 And I think the first instance of this was that woman on the plane when she said something like, Flying to South Africa, I hope I don't get AIDS.

01:39:43.000 Just kidding, I'm white.

01:39:45.000 And she was making that joke as a liberal.

01:39:47.000 Yeah.

01:39:48.000 Yeah.

01:39:48.000 And she was on the plane with no internet, and the whole internet blew up being life was destroy her.

01:39:54.000 Her life was over by the time she landed.

01:39:56.000 What year was that?

01:39:56.000 Like roughly.

01:39:57.000 2012 or something.

01:39:58.000 Okay.

01:39:59.000 Yeah, I was gonna say because liberals, I feel bad for Zoomers. 1.00

01:40:02.000 They don't know what it was like, but back back in like the late 2000s, early 2010s, like every liberal I knew was saying stuff like that.

01:40:08.000 It was just like, you know, edgy humor, whatever.

01:40:10.000 And she was she tried explaining, she was like, No, I was pointing out that the people who suffer under AIDS are are the black people and the white people are getting special treatment.

01:40:19.000 And they were like, the the companies were like, we don't care.

01:40:22.000 A hate mob is a hate mob, regardless of ideology, and they've decided to hate you.

01:40:27.000 So uh she shouldn't have lost her job over that.

01:40:29.000 That's stupid.

01:40:30.000 Um, no one should have actually cared at all.

01:40:32.000 It's weird that some random one went viral.

01:40:34.000 Can't that this was cancel culture when they were like, you have an opinion we don't like, you're fired.

01:40:39.000 And it's like, bro, my I supported Trump.

01:40:41.000 It's like you said something like I think Trump's right about immigration, you know, maybe you're fired. 0.94

01:40:45.000 Now it's like a dude got shot and killed, and you're posting videos dancing and celebrating, saying who's next.

01:40:51.000 And they're like, I don't think someone who has violent tendencies and murderous rage should uh work at this company.

01:40:58.000 And they're like, that's cancel culture.

01:41:00.000 Well, I think our employees are our customers are a little freaked out by you calling for death, and they don't want to shop here, so we're gonna ask you to leave.

01:41:09.000 Or what Jimmy Kimmel did.

01:41:11.000 You know, just get say something that offends people and get booted.

01:41:16.000 I mean, suck at your job.

01:41:18.000 These people censored the pres they censored the president too as they're crying about like you know, cracking down on free Jimmy Kimmel's free speech, like you censored the president.

01:41:27.000 Yeah.

01:41:27.000 Get out of here.

01:41:28.000 Booted him off of Facebook, Twitter.

01:41:30.000 Yeah, like booted from like Pinterest.

01:41:32.000 Yeah, he was booted off of everything.

01:41:33.000 And he was the president.

01:41:34.000 They say, Oh, but that that wasn't like the government doing that.

01:41:36.000 And then you find out about maybe not in that specific case, although it probably was.

01:41:40.000 I mean, after J6, the the deep state just kind of like took over the the administration.

01:41:45.000 But I mean, you know, in the recent years, we've learned the extent to which the government's been involved in censoring the private sector, and you know, it's the idea that it's just like a free these are just free companies doing what they want.

01:41:59.000 It's you know, in some cases, yes, but no, the Biden administration and even even before that, you know, the deep state has been using all Mike Benz has done great work on this.

01:42:07.000 Just just every aspect of the government they can to crack down on free speech.

01:42:12.000 So um yeah, I mean, it's crazy to still see people say, like, well, careful, if you're doing this, the left might do it.

01:42:19.000 It's like you should have been saying that to them before because now like it's inverted.

01:42:25.000 Like, yeah, now we're not doing what they did, just to be clear, but we are, you know, yeah, you know, cracking down.

01:42:30.000 We're we're kind of asserting power, but it's uh far fairer in like more justified way in anything that they did.

01:42:36.000 Yeah, like they were like impeaching the president, like trying to throw him in jail, and none of them ever said, What if the right does this to us?

01:42:42.000 Yeah, it's like A, they know we won't, like we're like, we know we'll just elect a dead guy.

01:42:46.000 But then B, yeah, because they're not stupid.

01:42:48.000 They they would never say that because they're trying to win.

01:42:50.000 Like that's a that's they're just trying to win.

01:42:51.000 They want it more than we do, evidently.

01:42:53.000 Well, they had power for so long and they were so arrogant that they thought that they could literally just do anything.

01:42:58.000 I always think back to this Matt Iglacius tweet.

01:43:01.000 It was, you know, it was like maybe a wee, you know the one I'm talking about.

01:43:04.000 It was maybe a week or so after Trump was uh deplatformed.

01:43:08.000 I'm good.

01:43:08.000 He said, Wow, it's kind of crazy that uh we just deplatformed Trump and nothing happened.

01:43:12.000 There was no downside whatsoever.

01:43:14.000 Yeah, yeah, exactly.

01:43:15.000 No discernible downside.

01:43:17.000 Wow.

01:43:17.000 Well, flash forward to 2024, and it's like, all right, dude, maybe maybe rethink.

01:43:21.000 Well, you know, uh, we were talking about this the other day with Mary, and I was saying she was she she was basically saying, like, we need to go against these people.

01:43:28.000 We need to use whatever force we can, like censorship, whatever.

01:43:32.000 I don't want to put words in her mouth.

01:43:33.000 I'll just say my point was when the right was on the receiving end of all of this, none of it worked.

01:43:39.000 Nobody they silenced people, but it didn't stop their mission.

01:43:42.000 They they've smeared people, they accused them of missing disinformation.

01:43:46.000 They tried to dominate the culture and failed.

01:43:49.000 And right now we are winning.

01:43:51.000 That same strategy will not work on the left.

01:43:54.000 You're not going to ban them into a blend.

01:43:56.000 It's not going to happen.

01:43:57.000 So I don't know what you do to stop deranged psychopaths like Jimmy Kimmel who go on TV and lie and say the shooter was mega guy.

01:44:08.000 Yeah.

01:44:08.000 And there, and and you know it's really my favorite one.

01:44:11.000 Seeing these liberals post, the difference between Roseanne and Jimmy Kimmel is that Roseanne wasn't fired because the president tried to get her fired. 0.90

01:44:19.000 Or the the thing about Jimmy Kimmel is that it went against their own business interests because the president pressured them.

01:44:26.000 And it's just like these are the lies they're spreading.

01:44:29.000 Trump did not get Jimmy Kimmel fired.

01:44:32.000 Uh Brendan Carr played a small role with his statement, which was worrisome, but advertisers unrelated to affiliates or the FCC had complained as well.

01:44:41.000 And when Jimmy Kimmel was talking with the executives, he said he was going to double down.

01:44:46.000 This is an entirely different scenario where with Roseanne, she made a joke.

01:44:54.000 And then I believe Roseanne said Obama and Michelle called ABC and lobbied for her dismissal.

01:45:02.000 So it's they live in they live in an inverted reality.

01:45:04.000 It's just nuts.

01:45:05.000 Or at the bare minimum, let's just do this.

01:45:08.000 Let's say Roseanne and Kim are identical in every single way.

01:45:11.000 They cheered for Roseanne getting fired. 0.82

01:45:14.000 So why should they be upset now when they got the world that they wanted?

01:45:17.000 Right.

01:45:18.000 They're saying that the right, they're hypocrites for now being f in favor of getting people fired from their jobs.

01:45:23.000 And I'm like, no, no, no, there's a difference.

01:45:25.000 There's the eight years of please stop getting people fired from their jobs, and liberals saying no.

01:45:32.000 Then finally the right saying, fine, we will stop you taking power and stopping them, versus the hypocrisy of it's a good thing to ban people.

01:45:40.000 And then when it happens to them, they say, oh no, our free speech.

01:45:43.000 The left are hypocrites.

01:45:44.000 The right are just trying to win because the left started a fight.

01:45:48.000 We're gonna go to your chats and rumble rants, my friend.

01:45:50.000 So smash the like button, share the show with everyone, you know, literally everyone.

01:46:02.000 We got TJ Sherrad says, just had septum sinus surgery yesterday to fix my breathing.

01:46:08.000 Watching with my amazing girlfriend caretaker, who has been a gift from God.

01:46:12.000 Kimmel getting canned is a better gift than my new breathing. 0.97

01:46:17.000 Right on.

01:46:20.000 Oh, what is this?

01:46:22.000 Joshua David says, with the end of H1B, do you think we will see a change in wages across the board?

01:46:26.000 Yep.

01:46:28.000 Yep.

01:46:32.000 Okay.

01:46:33.000 I don't I don't have any idea as to if they're actually gonna Maybe in certain certain industries.

01:46:38.000 Um I think maybe over time, though, that you're gonna you're gonna it might take a little bit.

01:46:43.000 Definitely not gonna be instantaneous.

01:46:45.000 Yeah.

01:46:47.000 Be a long matriculation process. 0.77

01:46:48.000 I mean, because eventually, yeah, with the boomers dying off, it'd be these specialty fields. 1.00

01:46:52.000 They're just gonna have to train these young guys, and there's gonna be a huge, the huge demand for talent.

01:46:57.000 Yeah, I think in tech entry-level tech stuff, I would imagine there are more jobs uh and they're gonna be higher paid.

01:47:03.000 Yeah.

01:47:03.000 So um, I don't know if you guys saw I tweeted this.

01:47:05.000 I also posted on Instagram, it's my political compass test.

01:47:08.000 It's actually funny, I moved left.

01:47:09.000 Uh I did.

01:47:11.000 And uh I'm a social liberty all shaking his head.

01:47:14.000 Yeah.

01:47:15.000 But this is what's funny is that I I pointed out in the video that where I took the test, left and right has nothing to do with this.

01:47:21.000 In the modern era, left basically means pro-trans.

01:47:25.000 And and and for real, because you can be uh you can be critical of communist economic theory and the left will be like, okay.

01:47:33.000 But if you come out and you're like gender ideology is weird, they'll say you're a right wing, you're far right, and they'll kick you out.

01:47:38.000 And so uh I took the test and it plotted me on the left libertarian spectrum, which is typically where I fall.

01:47:43.000 And uh terrible has a question uh about this.

01:47:45.000 He says, Tim, earlier you disagree with the question about needing religion to be moral.

01:47:48.000 Wouldn't growing up in a Judaic Christian country shape one's morals, but not religion, not religious be similar as cut flower politics, um, but not religious be similar. 0.97

01:48:00.000 I don't know what you mean by that.

01:48:01.000 I will just explain my point.

01:48:02.000 The question was something like do you need religion to be moral?

01:48:06.000 And the answer is you you uh an individual does not.

01:48:10.000 Uh I I I forgot how the actual the question was actually framed, and I pointed out that these questions are framed to make you appear leftist.

01:48:16.000 So when you take the political compass test, there's a lot of absolutes that you can't answer, and so you must be a leftist.

01:48:22.000 That's kind of how it plays.

01:48:23.000 So the idea that an individual must be religious to be moral is just not correct because you can have derivative religious foundations, and so the individual themselves doesn't have any religious foundation.

01:48:34.000 Bill Maher, for instance, is a largely moral person.

01:48:38.000 However, he does not have a an underlying himself religious understanding.

01:48:44.000 He probably he's he's he's learned to a certain degree on these things, but he couldn't tell you what a theologian or actually your comment practicing Christian could.

01:48:51.000 He doesn't know much about the back background.

01:48:53.000 I as I said, I agree with Ben Shapiro that he was born morally on third base, but the individual himself does not practice a religion.

01:49:00.000 That that was the point of the question in my view.

01:49:03.000 If you do you need, do you need to practice a religion to be moral?

01:49:06.000 And the answer is no.

01:49:07.000 But I do believe that our morals here in this country are rooted in Christian values.

01:49:11.000 Yeah.

01:49:12.000 That's the problem with these questions.

01:49:14.000 It asked um it one of the questions was should uh uh should abortion where the life of the mother is not in jeopardy, uh it said abortions where the life of the mother is not in jeopardy should never should should always be illegal.

01:49:28.000 Or it was like it was an absolute.

01:49:30.000 And I was like, well, if my option is to be absolute no matter what the circumstance, considering we haven't even assessed the circumstance, I can't say yes to that.

01:49:39.000 There are certain circumstances where abortion should be legal when the life of the mother is not in jeopardy.

01:49:45.000 And I know it's potentially rare.

01:49:47.000 Let's say it's one in in a in a in a hundred million.

01:49:50.000 The point is I can't advocate for an absolute in that in that regard.

01:49:55.000 We we haven't assessed the the the goals or the probabilities.

01:50:00.000 So either way, I'm largely traditional pro-choice old school, but Democrats have largely lost their mind.

01:50:07.000 They just the the left is a cult.

01:50:09.000 I'll put like that.

01:50:10.000 Basically, the point of the video was what defines left or right is whether you believe the truth or the lie.

01:50:15.000 If you live in the cult reality of fake news like Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, you will be on the left.

01:50:20.000 If you know the truth, even if you have left liberal uh perspective, you are right wing.

01:50:26.000 So here I am.

01:50:27.000 I can answer every question, which justifies why I lean left and they'll call me far right.

01:50:32.000 Yeah, I mean, you look at someone like uh so I think you brought it up last night, real quick or whatever, or mentioned it.

01:50:37.000 Uh, Shuan had put out a new video talking about the the shooting of Charlie Kirk, and she was basically just kind of venting about how appalled she is at the behavior of the left.

01:50:50.000 And she has pretty left-leaning economic views, like she believes in the social safety net, she she thinks that Bernie Sanders has economic views that are that are right on point, like she's you know, thinks that billionaires or there's too many billionaires or the billionaires should have pay higher taxes or what have you.

01:51:07.000 Um but when you are presented with the modern left, the way that they look at at social questions, and you see that they literally act like they're evil, right?

01:51:21.000 They're laughing at someone's death.

01:51:24.000 Right.

01:51:24.000 A person that has they have no reason to hate this person other than they have a different opinion, right?

01:51:31.000 They they look at they believe that you you you can't become a woman if you're a man, and they believe that you shouldn't com you shouldn't have abortions because they believe that's killing a human.

01:51:42.000 Like if those things, if you say, well, that makes you an evil person, and then you have to lie about them, you know, it's it's it's shocking to a lot of people, and I think that goes to Tim's point about you know how the people on the right are more in touch with reality than people on the left are.

01:52:01.000 Joshua David says, Rest with Jesus, Charlie, be seeing you then, bro.

01:52:05.000 Right on.

01:52:06.000 So true.

01:52:07.000 Finn's up says, yes, I said this.

01:52:08.000 Wife and I took a trip to Europe, and the amount of tourists I saw was insane.

01:52:12.000 Way more than when I went 12 years ago.

01:52:14.000 I thought people were broke.

01:52:16.000 I ain't even playing.

01:52:17.000 I thought people were broke.

01:52:18.000 It seems to be that half the population is broke and half the population's got money to burn.

01:52:22.000 Also, like, yeah, traveling has gotten much cheaper as well.

01:52:26.000 And people are like seeing on Instagram they're seeing these trips, so it's becoming more of a priority For them.

01:52:30.000 Like even when Americans maybe even had more um like economic power abroad, it just didn't occur to them to travel.

01:52:36.000 They'd be like, I'd rather go to the Grand Canyon.

01:52:37.000 That's what I see on TV.

01:52:38.000 But yeah, now people scroll in screen, like, I have to see Prague before I die.

01:52:42.000 Yeah, and in some of these European countries, I think like Spain is the biggest example.

01:52:45.000 They're having they're having like protests against against the tourists.

01:52:48.000 There's too much tourism.

01:52:49.000 They don't like it.

01:52:50.000 Yeah, people whose entire town is dependent on tourism, they see tourists.

01:52:55.000 But it's like the their city would just collapse to respect.

01:52:58.000 Yeah, that's the sad thing.

01:52:59.000 I mean, yeah, having your city, your country turn into kind of like Disneyland, basically.

01:53:05.000 Yeah, you need to look a little bit of like.

01:53:07.000 If you're if your economy is dependent on it, then like you gotta do.

01:53:10.000 Like Hawaiians complain about this all day. 0.99

01:53:11.000 I'm like, bro, I am here for.

01:53:14.000 I imagine I imagine that like if there wasn't so much immigration in places across Europe, they would be less averse to tourism.

01:53:21.000 Oh, yeah, could you imagine the tourism to Paris if it was like French? 0.99

01:53:25.000 It would be like it'd be an unreal.

01:53:28.000 It's not very French anymore.

01:53:29.000 Not all right.

01:53:30.000 DH Shannon says, My gorgeous wife is delivering our daughter Charlotte. 0.87

01:53:34.000 He chose the name months ago before the violence.

01:53:36.000 Now it will remind me to be a husband and father like Charlie.

01:53:39.000 There is light in the world.

01:53:41.000 Let's go.

01:53:41.000 Right.

01:53:42.000 Congratulations.

01:53:43.000 Congrats.

01:53:44.000 All right.

01:53:45.000 Patriot Peladin says the assassination of Charlie, Kimmel's lies and cancellation and now ABC gradually and then all at once.

01:53:52.000 Yeah, when I was talking to Eric Prince, I asked him with all the countries that he's been to, with everything his his uh men and partners have seen.

01:54:03.000 Is there, you know, is is this happening in the United States?

01:54:06.000 And what he said was the one thing that's true in every location is that it happens overnight.

01:54:12.000 One day, yes, there's political turmoil, and you go to bed, but when you wake up, the electricity won't turn on and there's no internet.

01:54:18.000 That's what happens.

01:54:20.000 And so uh we won't know until it happens.

01:54:24.000 And and it there's for obvious reasons the power goes out first, the internet goes out first because you cut communications first thing when it when conflict starts.

01:54:31.000 So I suppose we'll just see.

01:54:33.000 And uh I the reality is by the time you actually know, it will be too late.

01:54:38.000 So what I can say is the worst thing in the world for us would be if we lived in a city.

01:54:45.000 Imagine doing this show from a major urban metro.

01:54:49.000 I guess you just couldn't do it.

01:54:51.000 Maybe, maybe in some cities, not we'd have I'd have to have like 15 guys with rifles surrounding the building.

01:54:58.000 I mean, they're shooting up an ABC building in Sacramento.

01:55:01.000 We don't know why yet, but so we're on the middle of nowhere.

01:55:04.000 We still have threats and risks, but it's much more defensible and much harder to get to.

01:55:09.000 And that's why I was like, we need to get away from these cities because of the degree of violence that's been erupting.

01:55:14.000 It's a scary thought.

01:55:17.000 It's getting crazy out there.

01:55:20.000 All right.

01:55:21.000 Yeah, keep yeah a Yaki India says, Do you think Trump would be able to use the National Guard to secure Charlie's funeral on Sunday?

01:55:26.000 Aren't they?

01:55:27.000 Um I don't know.

01:55:29.000 I heard that they were talking about uh the dress code as being red, white, and blue.

01:55:33.000 Indeed, that is correct.

01:55:34.000 Yeah, and there's going to be a lot of people.

01:55:38.000 So if you are a conservative and you are in Phoenix and you are going and you are wearing specifically red, white, and blue, everyone will know where you're going.

01:55:47.000 And your political leanings.

01:55:50.000 All right.

01:55:52.000 Quantum Strange Corks is breaking all pride flags have been lowered in honor of Jimmy Kimmel.

01:55:59.000 Nice.

01:56:01.000 John Christin, Christian, says Amazing Culture War today.

01:56:05.000 We need one with Chad Jackson and teach him Chuck on MLK along with the one on Ray Ray uh Raymond Ibrahim on history of Islam.

01:56:13.000 Yeah, we talked about um exorcisms and possession.

01:56:17.000 And my favorite part was actually talking about DMT.

01:56:21.000 When when people do DMT and then meet entities, it's it's like, could they just be these are demons?

01:56:28.000 Well, well.

01:56:30.000 I personally I just think it's the DMT, but I'm not particularly speech.

01:56:33.000 Yeah, but there are stories of people who they they put in two different rooms next to each other, give them DMT, and they both go to the same place and learn the same information.

01:56:41.000 That's why you know, when Joe Rogan was doing all these shows about DMT, everyone was so interested because they're like, How did two people who did not communicate come back from a trip but have the same information?

01:56:52.000 How is that information translated to them?

01:56:56.000 And there's still uh there's still theories as to as to how There's um what is this?

01:57:02.000 What is that movie with um it's a it's a really awful movie, but it's got Robert De Niro in it, and he's a magician, and the guy's trying to like figure out how he how he how he does it.

01:57:12.000 There's some movie.

01:57:14.000 Robert De Niro's a magician, and he claims to have actual psychic powers, and they can't figure out how he does it.

01:57:19.000 And he and uh an assistant go into isolated booths, and he's supposed to know psychically what the other guy what number he's chosen.

01:57:29.000 And sure enough, when the guy chooses a number, Robert Daniel gets it right every time, and they're like, There's no transmission between them.

01:57:37.000 We don't know how they would communicate any information, therefore this is supernatural.

01:57:42.000 It turns out they had synchronized watches, and every time Robert Robert De Niro would get a signal to like he would get signaled it was his turn to respond.

01:57:51.000 He would look to where the second hand on his watch was, and that was the number to pick.

01:57:55.000 So they were still able to able to convey information.

01:57:58.000 Interesting.

01:57:58.000 Yeah, that was a it was a good movie, though.

01:58:01.000 It sounds interesting, but if you said it wasn't that great, so I shouldn't have to be a good one.

01:58:03.000 Yeah, no, so it's it's not.

01:58:04.000 They they they tried to they they they wanted they they tried to I'm gonna I'm gonna spoil the movie.

01:58:07.000 I forgot what it's called, but uh, Cillian Murphy isn't it, I think.

01:58:10.000 And he works with Sigourney Weaver, and uh they're like trying to debunk the supernatural.

01:58:16.000 Okay, and they do when a guy goes to prison because he's defrauding people or something.

01:58:20.000 And then at the end, the twist is that Celia and Murphy had psychic powers the whole time, and you're like, you know, okay.

01:58:27.000 It seems like kind of a cop out from a writing perspective.

01:58:30.000 Yeah.

01:58:31.000 They didn't do it very well.

01:58:32.000 They were trying to have it be like the prestige or whatever, where it's like actually a good movie, yeah.

01:58:37.000 Yeah, where it like flashes back, and you're like, oh, now it makes sense.

01:58:40.000 Yeah, it's like instead, you're just like, uh, well, that was dumb.

01:58:44.000 Yeah.

01:58:46.000 It was okay, I guess.

01:58:47.000 I shouldn't be so mean, whatever.

01:58:50.000 All right, we'll grab some more.

01:58:53.000 Gravity Walker says, besides the fee for the H1B, we need to tax salaries paid to foreign workers at 100% or more, offshoring our labor is a killer.

01:59:02.000 Indeed, I mean, we're basically just saying no more H1Bs, you know what I mean. 1.00

01:59:08.000 The Skull Kid says Ilhan Omar literally does this on behalf of Somalia every day.

01:59:13.000 I think referring to the campaigning and lobbying on a for a foreign country.

01:59:17.000 Yeah, true.

01:59:18.000 I mean, if if you were if your interests are not America first, you shouldn't be in Congress.

01:59:26.000 You I mean your your interests should be your constituents as a Congress person, but your c your constituents are in America.

01:59:34.000 They are not in some foreign country overseas.

01:59:36.000 And if your interests are not you know, your constituents, you shouldn't be serving in Congress.

01:59:46.000 Yeah, there's just like there's just a small enclave in Minnesota and they keep electing.

01:59:50.000 It would have been unthinkable.

01:59:51.000 Islamists, they'd be like, What are you talking about? 1.00

01:59:54.000 I mean, no, I I imagine they they'd understand it because there's there was a time when you know Italians came in and they were living in little Italy.

02:00:01.000 I think they could wrap their head around Italians, but they'd be like, Where's Somalia again? 0.98

02:00:05.000 Well, the thing is like, you know, whether it be Irish or Italians, they were looked at as others in a way.

02:00:10.000 But they were like closer.

02:00:11.000 They were like, okay, Catholics. 0.93

02:00:13.000 It is true.

02:00:14.000 It is true, it is true they were Europeans and stuff, but you know, when they were beating the crap out of each other in the streets, doesn't you know they they didn't feel like they were as close as as we feel like they are. 0.99

02:00:25.000 And that was Italians and Irish, so now Somali, it's like that's a huge gap. 0.91

02:00:29.000 Yeah, you know, like a while.

02:00:31.000 Gravity Walker says, El Salvador is proof that law and order results in prosperity.

02:00:36.000 We must have the same here.

02:00:37.000 Absolutely.

02:00:38.000 Sean Fitzgerald makes this uh I think Sean Fitzgerald, right?

02:00:41.000 Uh, actual justice warrior.

02:00:42.000 Yeah.

02:00:43.000 Um, he makes this point all the time.

02:00:45.000 Crime drives poverty, but poverty does not drive crime.

02:00:49.000 People make the argument, oh, well, you know, it's poor and that there it's a poor area, and that's why there's crime.

02:00:54.000 No, that's not true at all.

02:00:55.000 Culture drives crime.

02:00:56.000 Crime happens, and then there's no investment in the area.

02:01:00.000 Businesses leave, police don't actually prevent crime, so nobody wants to b have businesses, nobody wants to to put any of their money in there.

02:01:09.000 And so that makes more crime.

02:01:11.000 It's not that poverty drives crime, it's crime drives poverty.

02:01:15.000 Interesting.

02:01:17.000 Man, it's getting crazy.

02:01:19.000 That's all I can say is it's getting crazy.

02:01:22.000 Hank Trey says, Can we talk about the tray flip down El Toro?

02:01:25.000 Yeah, when they released the footage, did they release the footage?

02:01:27.000 No, no.

02:01:29.000 There's Trey Flip down El Toro.

02:01:32.000 Oh, come on, bro.

02:01:32.000 You gotta get cultured.

02:01:33.000 Uh Chris Jocelyn, come on.

02:01:35.000 Don't you guys know anything?

02:01:37.000 Uh yeah, reportedly he did it.

02:01:39.000 There's a photo on the cover of I think Thrasher, right?

02:01:42.000 And uh there's a photo of him going, but uh the video is yet to be seen.

02:01:47.000 I don't know what they're waiting for.

02:01:48.000 I think he already did it.

02:01:49.000 Yeah, I know I think so.

02:01:52.000 Oh, right, right, right.

02:01:53.000 Everyone disputes that.

02:01:53.000 Yeah, his first trade flip his truck broke.

02:01:55.000 Yeah.

02:01:56.000 And then he but and he rode away for like five feet and then spun out because his so uh for those not landed it and rode for five feet, and they're saying it doesn't count.

02:02:05.000 So that was a long time ago.

02:02:06.000 Okay.

02:02:07.000 So for those that are not familiar, El Toro, the bull is a large set of stairs, thought to be close to the limit of human physical capability to jump down.

02:02:18.000 And uh back in the day, uh I'll I'll avoid the overt jargon from skateboarding, but it was jumped down and people are like, whoa, that's crazy.

02:02:27.000 And then it was spun, meaning someone jumped and rotated.

02:02:31.000 And then uh Dave Pajinski kick flipped it, meaning he not only jumped it, but the board flipped under his feet, and a lot of people thought it wasn't possible.

02:02:38.000 And then he did, and people's minds were blown.

02:02:40.000 Chris Joclin did what's called a 360 flip, where the board spins 360 degrees while flipping one time.

02:02:47.000 But when he landed, the impact was so tremendous, the truck of the skateboard broke.

02:02:53.000 And so as he rode forward, it lost control and he spun out.

02:02:57.000 But he stuck it, land it, rode a little bit.

02:03:00.000 And as much as everyone said that counted, everybody in the back of their mind knew it doesn't.

02:03:06.000 It's not his fault that the truck broke, but he didn't ride it out.

02:03:10.000 And so everyone was like, he did it at a human level, but we want more.

02:03:15.000 And so reportedly he did it again, and it would be for those that don't know, one of the greatest feats in the history of skateboarding.

02:03:22.000 Uh and so we think that it it it it is uh he did it.

02:03:25.000 So anyway, my friend, smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know.
